Anticoagulant Treatment May Decrease the Relapse Rate of Pulmonary Arterial Involvement in Behçet’s Disease
Pulmonary arterial thrombosis is the main presentation type of PAI in BD, whereas aneurysmatic formation is rare. Despite immunosuppressive treatment, relapses occur during follow-up in one third of patients with PAI. When anticoagulant therapy is added to immunosuppressive therapy, the relapse rate in BD patients with PAI is significantly reduced.
