Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) ie the third common caure of cardiovascular death. Anticoagulation i the cornerstone of VIE trectment
but bleeding i sl the moin adverse events. Bleeding is he most commen complication of enticoaguletin and should be menaged rapidly
based on hemodynamic instil, source of bleeding, and degree of blood loss We present o case of incoclcr bleeding after
cnticoaguation for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
‘A 26.yearld female, mown at Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia and
routinely visting hemato-oncology outpatient clini, was referred 19
‘emergency department with unilateral swelling of lower extremity for
‘0 week. She also Felt pein and numbnes inthe right lower extremity.
Pein wos felt at rest and by any movement or change in postion. She also
hed history of swelling in right lower extramity that poctly treated.
‘She also hed a wound inthe pretibial area for 6 months. The vital sign is
stable wit onemic conjunctiva, icterle slerae, and hepatosplenamegaly
‘he calf diometer of right lower extremity is 4.5.cm bigger than the
‘other side with venous uler in pretibial area. ECG examinction showed
sinus tachycardia. The laboratory examinotion showed an elevated
D-Dimer level. Wells score was colevlated with score of 5 (DVT Likely)
‘Complete Vasculor Utrasonogrephy was performed with compression
‘itraroune (CUS) poriive in the right femoral vein and right grect
sophenovs vein. Patient war diagnosed with Deep Vein Thrombosis of Right
Lower Extremity with Venous Uleer end was reated with Enoxaparin
£60 mg twice daily, During hospitalization, she complained of abruptly
blurted vision. Opthoimolog)st wes consulted and she was diagnosed
‘with intraretinal hemorthage. The platelet level wos also decreased more
than 096. Thus, she wos diagnosed with Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia,
LMWH was topped. Vena cove filer should be an option in his patent, but
the resources were scarce. Four days after bleeding events, The patient
Vision was improved, with no active itraratinal bleeding from ophihelne-
scopic examination, s0 anticoagulant wes restarted using Rivaroxeben 15 mg
‘ice deily. Three days after, she was discharged with no sign of
bleeding or worsening vision ond the platelet level is increased —

‘Anticoagulant therapies can lead to bleeding complietions that
uneasy to tect. The physicien should do a rapid ond careful
‘osierment of the source couse and severity of the bleeding.
(Our patient wor diagnosed of having lnrcretinal haemorrhage

LUAWH/VKA therapy. Major bleeding risk in 6-month treatment
with DOACS wes only 1.1% with @eate-fatalty rate of 5.3%
compared fo LAWH/VKA treatment wih 1.7% rsk of major
bleeding and 10% case-fotality rate. A systematic review ond
