Acute Pulmonary Thromboembolism in a Patient with Nutcracker Syndrome and Antiphospholipid Syndrome.

We describe a young man with antiphospholipid syndrome, who developed overt pulmonary thromboembolism due to an isolated thrombus in the left renal vein. Complicating antiphospholipid syndrome might trigger acute pulmonary thromboembolism (APTE) in patients with NCS. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of APTE arising due to isolated left renal vein thrombosis in patients with NCS. PMID: 32641637 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
