Abstract

CASTILLO-GONZALEZ, Dunia et al. Gestational follow-up of pregnant woman with sticky platelets syndrome: first patient reported in Cuba. Rev Cubana Hematol Inmunol Hemoter [online]. 2015, vol.31, n.4, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-2996.

Sticky platelet syndrome is an entity where patients have platelet hiperaggregability and thrombotic clinical manifestations. It was observed more than 30 years ago in young people with occlusive arterial, venous, myocardial infarctions, stroke, and later it was reported in women with recurrent pregnancy loss and obstetric complication events. The treatment of choice is aspirin which reverted platelet hyperaggregability. We present a pregnant woman diagnosed with type II sticky platelets syndrome with a history of two pregnancy loss. During this pregnancy, she received antiplatelet therapy and molecular weight heparin. Despite this therapy, complications arose in the third quarter that led to the early termination of pregnancy, but we obtained an alive underweight newborn without any perinatal complications. Currently, the patient maintains aspirin and she has no occlusive events. These results demonstrate that the care of these patients by a multidisciplinary team has successful outcome.
