Thrombosis in hemophiliacs is a very unusual event mostly reported in patients treated with concentrates containing large quantities of activated coagulation factors. A patient with hemophilia A is reported who had an acute myocardial infarction and in whom investigation for hereditary thrombophilia showed a prothrombotic molecular defect, the G20210A prothrombin mutation.
