Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Closure in a Patient with Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhaging Associated with Anticoagulant Therapy and Atrial Fibrillation: A Case Report
Intern Med. 2021 Nov 27. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.8551-21. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDiffuse alveolar hemorrhaging (DAH) due to oral anticoagulation (OAC) is a life-threatening condition that leads to severe respiratory failure. There is a clinical dilemma in that OAC-induced DAH often forces the discontinuation of OAC therapy and the administration of high-dose corticosteroids, which increases the risk of stroke and cardiovascular events. We herein report the first case of OAC-induced DAH and atrial fibrillation (AF) in a patient who completely discontinued OAC therapy and high-dose corticosteroids after experien...
