Abstract: We describe a case of thoracic aortic aneurysm complicated by chronic disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Initially the DIC was controlled successfully by administration of gabexate mesilate and dalteparin. However, because these drugs were given intravenously, the patient could not be discharged. Subsequently, the DIC was treated successfully by changing to orally administered camostat mesilate, warfarin and aspirin, which allowed the patient to leave hospital.
