Postoperative thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura after aortofemoral bypassDOI: 10.3402/jchimp.v2i4.19797 Keywords: postoperative thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura , aortofemoral bypass , plasmapheresis Abstract: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is uncommon in the postoperative setting, even more so after vascular surgery. We present a case of thrombocytopenia after aortofemoral bypass, which highlights the importance of a high index of suspicion for postoperative TTP to avoid life-threatening consequences.
