Summary In two patients receivingl-asparaginase therapy, severe acute pancreatitis complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) developed. In both cases it was successfully treated with continuous infusion of a synthetic protease inhibitor, nafamostat mesilate. In this report, we briefly discuss the clinical efficacy of the synthetic protease inhibitor in treating such cases.
