AbstractAntiphospholipid syndrome associate thromboembolic events (arterial or venous), and presence of antiphospholipid antibodies, and require anticoagulation. A catastrophic variant may develop, resulting in multiorgan failure, with high mortality rate. This article presented a patient with antiphospholipid syndrome presenting a catastrophic antiphospholipide syndrome after anticoagulation suspending for gastrointestinal bleeding. Multidisciplinary management in intensive care unit and aggressive therapies (corticosteroids, anticoagulation, plasma exchange) were essential to rescue the patient.Copyright © 2012 Société française d’anesthésie et de réanimation (Sfar).
