    Abstract Thrombotic antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a condition in which thrombosis in venous, arterial, and/or small vessels is ascribed to the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). Among the various proposed pathogenic theories to explain thrombotic APS, those involving the interaction between aPL and the protein C system have gained much consensus. Indeed, robust data show an acquired activated protein C resistance (APC-R) in these patients. The role of aPL in this impairment is clear, but the mechanism of action is uncertain, as the type of aPL and to what extent aPL are involved remains a gray area. Lupus anticoagulant (LA) is often associated with APC-R, but antibodies generating LA comprise those directed to β2-glycoprotein I and antiphosphatidylserine/prothrombin. Moreover, the induction of APC-R by aPL requires the presence of phospholipids and is suppressed by the presence of an excess of phospholipids. How phospholipids exposed on the cell membranes work in the system in vivo is unknown. Interestingly, acquired APC-R due to aPL might explain the clinical phenotypes of thrombotic APS. Indeed, the literature reports cases of both venous and arterial thromboembolism as well as skin necrosis, the latter observed in the severe form of protein C deficiency and in catastrophic APS.

    Abstract Unprovoked thrombosis (thrombosis occurring without an established environmental factor favouring the episode) is a classic feature of APS. In the general population, provoked venous thromboembolism (VTE) is clearly defined and has clinical and therapeutic differences compared with unprovoked VTE. Whether provoked VTE in the context of APS may lead to a limited treatment duration is not well established. Therefore, careful clinical and laboratory evaluation is needed to identify patients eligible for a limited duration of anticoagulation treatment after provoked VTE. Given the uncertainties of available data, the risks and benefits of treatment decisions should be clearly explained. Decisions should be shared by both the patient and physician. Cardiovascular risk factors are common in patients with APS with arterial thrombosis. There are insufficient data suggesting that cardiovascular risk factor control would allow the cessation of anticoagulation. In most instances, arterial thrombosis will require prolonged anticoagulants. A careful analysis of clinical characteristics and laboratory evaluation, particularly the aPL antibody profile, is needed to make decisions on a case-by-case basis.

    Abstract Whether additional tests to improve on the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome are useful is a matter of debate. New tests exploring the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies are now available and comprise subgroups of antibodies directed to β2-glycoprotein I, namely anti-Domain 1 and anti-Domain 4/5, and anti-phosphatidylserine/prothrombin antibodies. The aim of this article is to discuss in a forum with the scientific community on the possible utility of additional test for the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome, especially in incomplete antiphospholipid antibody profiles.

    Abstract It was our aim to assess whether factor V Leiden (FVL) and G20210A prothrombin (FII) mutation are associated with the presence of residual vein obstruction (RVO) after a standard course of anticoagulation for a first episode of idiopathic proximal deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower limbs, with or without symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE). Patients were enrolled in two prospective multicentre studies: PROLONG and PROLONG II. RVO was detected by compression ultrasonography according to the method of Prandoni on the day of anticoagulation withdrawal. Patients were also screened for FVL and FII mutation. The presence of FVL and/or FII mutation was determined in 872/963 (90.5%) patients, in 753 of whom RVO was assessed. FVL was significantly less frequent among subjects with isolated PE (7/176:4%) than among patients with either DVT and PE (15/133:11.3%; p=0.0018) or isolated DVT (89/563:15.8%; p<0.0001), confirming the FVL paradox. The rate of FII mutation was similar among patients with isolated PE (11/176:6.2%) and patients with either DVT and PE (12/133:9%) or isolated DVT (52/563:9.2%). FVL and FII mutation were not significantly associated with RVO at the multivariate analysis in all patients, although data suggest that FVL and FII mutation may have a differential effect on RVO in the subgroups of patients with DVT and DVT plus PE patients. Male sex and isolated DVT were significantly associated with RVO in all patients. In conclusion, male sex and isolated DVT are associated with RVO, while FVL and FII mutations are not significantly associated with RVO in this study.

    Abstract Unprovoked (or provoked by mild risk factors) venous thromboembolism (VTE) in young patients, VTE in uncommon sites, or cases of unexplained VTE recurrence may be positive for antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) and thus may be diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). The evaluation of aPL is standardized using immunological tests for anticardiolipin and anti-β2-glycoprotein I. The determination of functional antibodies (lupus anticoagulant) is less standardized, especially in patients on anticoagulant treatment. Patients positive for all the three tests are at high risk of recurrence, which, in turn, might lead to chronic obstruction of pulmonary vessels (chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension). Randomized clinical trials have shown that triple-positive patients should be treated with vitamin K antagonists maintaining an international normalized ratio between 2 and 3. Whether patients with VTE and incomplete aPL profile can be treated with direct oral anticoagulants should be further investigated.
