Abstract:
Spherocytosis is the most common of the hereditary hemolytic anemias, with characteristically shaped erythrocytes. An unusually large amount of arterial thrombus was documented in a dissected artery after angioplasty in a patient with spherocytosis. It is hypothesized that the excessive arterial thrombus may have been linked to the spherocytosis.
