Abstract
Unlike classic APS, CAPS causes multiple microthrombosis due to an increased inflammatory response, known as a "thrombotic storm". CAPS typically develops after infection, trauma, or surgery and begins with the following symptoms: fever, thrombocytopenia, muscle weakness, visual and cognitive disturbances, abdominal pain, renal failure, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Although the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies in the blood is one of the diagnostic criteria, the level of these antibodies can fluctuate significantly, which complicates the diagnostic process and can lead to erroneous interpretation of rapidly developing symptoms. Triple therapy is often used to treat CAPS, which includes the use of anticoagulants, plasmapheresis, and high doses of glucocorticosteroids and, in some cases, additional intravenous immunoglobulins. The use of LMWH is recommended as the drug of choice due to its anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant properties. CAPS is a multifactorial disease that requires not only an interdisciplinary approach but also highly qualified medical care, adequate and timely diagnosis, and appropriate prevention in the context of relapse or occurrence of the disease. Improved new clinical protocols and education of medical personnel regarding CAPS can significantly improve the therapeutic approach and reduce mortality rates.

Abstract
Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS) is an uncommon and the most severe form of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). A 33-week pregnant patient with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, past SARS-CoV-2 infection and type I fetal growth restriction with shortening of the fetal long bone was diagnosed in our center with a probable CAPS. Cesarean section was performed four days after the diagnosis due to the torpid evolution of the patient. Clinical improvement was noted a few days later and the mother and baby were discharged within a week. We review the current literature on CAPS during pregnancy and provide an updated view.

Acute dilated cardiomyopathy in the setting of catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome and thrombotic microangiopathy: A case series and review. EJHAEM 2020; 1:44-50.

Abstract
Catastrophic antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (CAPS) is a rare form of antiphospholipid syndrome, an autoimmune condition characterized by vascular thromboses, pregnancy loss, and antiphospholipid (aPL) antibodies. Diagnosis of CAPS relies on thrombosis of at least three different organs systems over 1 week, histopathological evidence of small vessel occlusion, and high aPL antibody titers. In a subset of precipitating circumstances, activation or disruption of endothelial cells in the microvasculature may occur along with cardiomyopathy. We present two cases of CAPS‐associated dilated cardiomyopathy at our institution, focusing on disease management, pathophysiology, and treatment. These patients were of Southeastern Asian descent, raising the possibility of genetic polymorphisms contributing to the development of cardiomyopathy. Both met CAPS criteria and both demonstrated clinicopathologic thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) and complement activation and developed severe dilated cardiomyopathy with shock. Complement activation plays an important role in the development of CAPS and may be important in the pathogenesis of CAPS‐associated cardiomyopathy. Clinical suspicion for TMA as a pathophysiologic mechanism of unexplained heart failure in CAPS is important and increased awareness of cardiac side effects is necessary so that early treatment can be initiated to halt further cardiac and systemic complications.
