Abstract Although the management of β-thalassemia has improved significantly, patients still suffer from many complications, including thrombotic events. A hypercoagulable state has been demonstrated in these conditions, particularly in non–transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia, because of disease-specific contributors that play a role ...
