Serious Complication of Anticoagulation in Vessel Thrombosis-associated Beh çet Disease.

Serious Complication of Anticoagulation in Vessel Thrombosis-associated Behçet Disease. Intern Med. 2020 Mar 26;: Authors: Ouchi K, Narui R, Sakuma T, Ojiri H Abstract Anticoagulation in venous thrombosis associated with Behçet disease (BD) is controversial. We herein report a 47-year-old woman with vessel thrombosis and pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) associated with BD who died of massive hemoptysis under oral anticoagulant. Although she was initially diagnosed with oral contraceptive-induced venous thromboembolism, a subsequent investigation led to a diagnosis of BD. Follow-up computed tomography (CT) showed persistent thrombus, so anticoagulant was continued for persistent thrombus. She died of massive hemoptysis after the development of PAA was identified on follow-up CT during the period of anticoagulation. Great care to prevent bleeding events is required when administering anticoagulants for BD with vessel thrombosis. PMID: 32213761 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
