| Title | Recurrent Pulmonary Embolism Associated With a Hemostatic Drug: Tranexamic Acid. | | Author(s) | Krivokuca I, Lammers JW | | Source | Clin Appl Thromb Hemost 2009 Oct 14. | | Abstract | Tranexamic acid (TA) used in a variety of conditions associated with bleeding has been associated with potential thrombotic side effects such as formation of thrombi and pulmonary embolism (PE). We describe a case of a woman with chronic hemoptysis and a history of PE, who recently used TA as a prophylactic measure, which could have resulted in a new episode of PE. Tranexamic acid probably played a contributory role in the development of her second PE. | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
