Cardiac sarcoidosis with a twist - active and fibrotic sarcoid with antiphospholipid positivity: A case report

Fibrotic CS with active SS and APS/APP has not been previously described in literature. This case utilized a modified approach for the management of this combination of diseases. As immunosuppressants such as steroids have limited utility in fibrotic sarcoidosis and a potential for thromboembolic complications in the presence of APP, an accelerated transition to non-thrombotic immunosuppressants can be advantageous in the long term treatment of this combination of diseases.

Abstract

Fibrotic CS with active SS and APS/APP has not been previously described in literature. This case utilized a modified approach for the management of this combination of diseases. As immunosuppressants such as steroids have limited utility in fibrotic sarcoidosis and a potential for thromboembolic complications in the presence of APP, an accelerated transition to non-thrombotic immunosuppressants can be advantageous in the long term treatment of this combination of diseases.
