Abstract

Introduction: Essential thrombocytosis (ET) is a myeloproliferative disease ongoing with megakaryocytic hyperplasia in bone marrow and with an increased risk of both bleeding and thrombosis. Macro- and microvascular events can be seen in ET. Macrovascular events are frequently arterial, and less commonly venous.
