Abstract

New oral anticoagulants have emerged as an alternative forwarfarin for thromboembolic prevention in patients with nonvalvularatrial fibrillation. Although new oral anticoagulantshave better compliance and safety margin compared to warfarin,we must be cautious with their usage. In this article, wereport a case of spontaneous hemothorax related to rivaroxabantreatment. According to our research, this is the first case ofspontaneous hemothorax secondary to rivaroxaban treatment.

Özet

Valvüler olmayan atriyal fibrilasyonlu hastalarda tromboembolik korunma için varfarine alternatif olarak yeni oral antikoagülanlar ortaya çıkmıştır. Yeni oral antikoagülanlar varfarine göre daha iyi uyum ve güvenlik marjına sahip olmakla birlikte, kullanımları konusunda dikkatli olmalıyız. Bu yazıda, rivaroksaban tedavisine bağlı bir spontan hemotoraks olgusu sunuldu. Araştırmamıza göre, rivaroksaban tedavisine sekonder ilk spontan hemotoraks olgusu budur.
