What are the management techniques for refractory antiphospholipid syndrome?

Cervera initiates the discussion by providing an overview of various clinical scenarios of APS. For patients without thrombotic events, primary thromboprophylaxis usually involves low-dose aspirin, while those with thrombotic events receive secondary thromboprophylaxis with oral anticoagulants. Treatment strategies for catastrophic and obstetric APS were also addressed.
