We report herein an unusual case of a 77 year old man who developed chronic disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) caused by an aortoiliac aneurysm. After preoperative heparin therapy, the aneurysm was successfully replaced with a prosthetic graft despite heavy blood loss. Moreover, the infusion of platelet concentrate and autotransfusion proved helpful during the operation and his hypofibrinogenemia and thrombocytopenia became normalized immediately after surgery. Thus, although preoperative heparin therapy can help control DIC, surgical repair of the aneurysm is the definitive treatment in this kind of case.
