MDCT can be a useful single imaging modality for the prompt and simultaneous diagnosis of concomitant arterial and venous thromboses in high-risk patients.
Arterial thrombosis is extremely rare in patients with factor V Leiden (FVL) mutation. Recent advances in multislice computed tomography (MSCT) technology facilitated diagnosis of thromboembolic events accurately without delay. We report a patient with FVL mutation and acute bilateral lower extremity deep venous thromboses, pulmonary thromboembolism, and acute left anterior descending artery thrombosis, all diagnosed by MSCT. MSCT has been utilized for prompt diagnosis of the concomitant thrombotic pathologies simultaneously.

Sayın et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Factor V Leiden disorder with simultaneous venous and arterial thromboses (n=1). Multislice computed tomography (MDCT) was evaluated on Detection of simultaneous venous and arterial thromboses. Multislice computed tomography successfully detected simultaneous bilateral popliteal venous thromboses, pulmonary thromboembolism, and acute left anterior descending artery thrombosis in a single scan.
