Arterial thrombosis is a rare complication of active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This case highlights aortic, renal, and splenic artery thrombosis in a patient with ulcerative colitis, emphasizing the need for vigilance and potential long-term anticoagulation.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Medicine
  • Gastroenterology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Arterial thrombotic events are uncommon in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
  • These thrombotic accidents typically manifest in younger adults experiencing active disease phases.
  • Inflammatory bowel disease is associated with a hypercoagulable state, though the exact mechanisms remain unclear.

Observation:

  • A case study involving a 40-year-old female with ulcerative colitis presented with aortic and renal arterial thrombosis.
  • Initial surgical thrombectomy yielded positive outcomes, with no immediate ischemic or renal complications.
  • A subsequent splenic artery thrombosis developed and resolved with anticoagulant therapy.

Findings:

  • Inflammatory bowel disease, particularly during active periods, may induce a hypercoagulable state.

  • The precise mechanisms underlying thromboembolic phenomena in IBD remain incompletely understood.
  • This case demonstrates the potential for severe arterial thrombosis in the context of IBD.

    • Implications:

    • The occurrence of significant arterial thrombosis in IBD warrants consideration for proactive management strategies.
    • Long-term anticoagulant treatment may be advisable for patients with active inflammatory bowel disease to mitigate thrombotic risks.
    • Further research into the physiopathology of thromboembolism in IBD is crucial for refining treatment protocols.
