El síndrome de Trousseau engloba una amplia variedad de trastornos de la coagulación, siendo los fenómenos trombóticos migratorios los principales trastornos asociados. El tratamiento de esta situación es difícil. Además, la gangrena venosa constituye un estadio final letal nada frecuente, de particular dramatismo y angustia para el paciente. Su tratamiento resulta desesperanzador.
