Endovascular Treatment of Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis and Insights into Intracranial Coagulopathy [PDF]
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) requires anticoagulation to promote vessel recanalization. Current anticoagulation paradigms utilize plasma tests from peripheral venous/arterial samples for therapeutic monitoring. We describe a medically-refractory case of CVST in a 35-year-old woman later found to have JAK2 mutation and essential ...
