# Antiphospholipid syndrome with major arterial thrombosis, presenting as pulmonary thromboembolism, cerebrovascular accident, and coronary artery disease: A case report and literature review

## TL;DR

This case report discusses a patient with antiphospholipid syndrome who experienced multiple serious blood clots and highlights the importance of long-term anticoagulation therapy.

## Contribution

The paper presents a rare case of antiphospholipid syndrome with multiple arterial thromboses and emphasizes the need for long-term anticoagulation.

## Key findings

- Antiphospholipid syndrome can present with multiple arterial thromboses.
- Long-term anticoagulation is essential to manage the condition.
- Bleeding complications must be carefully monitored during treatment.

## Abstract

Antiphospholipid syndrome is an immunopathologic disorder that should be considered in all patients with recurrent and/or unexplained thromboembolic events. Antiphospholipid antibodies are diagnostic markers, and anticoagulation therapy is the therapeutic and preventive strategy. Long‐term anticoagulation therapy is necessary, with careful attention to potential bleeding complications.
