Key result
A 44-year-old male heterozygous for the Factor V Leiden mutation developed multiple arterial and venous thromboses, including an intracardiac apical thrombus despite non-critical coronary stenosis.
Case Report (n=1)
Factor V Leiden mutation can present with multiple arterial and venous thromboses, including intracardiac thrombus and acute coronary syndrome with non-critical stenosis, warranting thrombophilia screening in young patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Alerts clinicians to multifocal thrombosis risk in Factor V Leiden carriers; leaves open whether screening improves outcomes in young patients.
Çinier et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Multiple thromboembolisms, acute coronary syndrome, intracardiac thrombus (n=1). Factor V Leiden mutation was evaluated. A 44-year-old male heterozygous for the Factor V Leiden mutation developed multiple arterial and venous thromboses, including an intracardiac apical thrombus despite non-critical coronary stenosis.
