| Abstract: | The effect of combined treatment with acetyl salicylic acid and dipyridamole on thrombic phenomena was studied in splenectomized patients with an aggressive form of myelofibrosis. 3 of these patients had thrombotic episodes, shortened platelet survival and an abnormal platelet aggregation pattern. The treatment with antiplatelet drugs resulted in a decreased platelet utilization as evidenced by clinical improvement and an increasing platelet concentration. |
