A pulmonary vein stump thrombus regenerated 3 months after discontinuing edoxaban therapy despite initial disappearance, but resolved again after readministration.
Why the study?
There is no consensus on whether or when anticoagulation therapy can be discontinued for pulmonary vein stump thrombus after left upper lobectomy.
Case Report (n=1)
