Abstract
|
|
|
|
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), a fatal disease, is mostly idiopathic but can occur secondary to cancer, infection, transplantation, pregnancy, surgery, or drugs. The mechanism of TTP is still unknown, however, and detection is difficult because of unclear diagnosis criteria. Colonic stent insertion is commonly used in management of malignant colon obstruction. This is a very safe procedure with a low procedure-related mortality rate, but serious complications can develop. The authors first experienced a patient with TTP when the phenomenon occurred after stent insertion for palliation of obstructive colon cancer and therefore would like to report the case.
