Right Hemispheric Acute Ischemic Stroke Secondary To Right Common Carotid Artery Free Floating Thrombus Due To Hypercoagulable State In An Otherwise Healthy 48-Year-Old Woman. (P6.263)
Conclusions: Due to the high association between malignancy and hypercoagulable state, further work up needs to be warranted in the evaluation of a patient with FFT. To our knowledge this is the first case report of symptomatic FFT treated with an oral direct factor-Xa inhibitor. Further randomized clinical trials are required to assess the best therapeutic approach of this condition.Disclosure: Dr. Orjuela has nothing to disclose. Dr. Gill has nothing to disclose.
