Abstract

Low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) are generally used foracute coronary syndrome (ACS) treatment. Although bleedingis the most common complication associated with the useof LMWH, it that can lead to hemodynamic disorder is rare.Here we present a case of rectus abdominis intramuscularhematoma (RAIH) after use of subcutaneous LMWH. A 73-year-old female patient was hospitalized with a diagnosisof ACS and pneumonia. Due to ACS, LMWH was started asanticoagulant therapy. When follow up in the service, thepatient developed sudden abdominal pain. Immediately,abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography wereperformed and left RAIH was detected. Emergency surgerywas not intended and supportive therapy (fluid, erythrocytesuspension, analgesics) was given to the patient. Hemodynamicparameters of the patient were followed up closely. Hematomadeclined in follow up and reducing the patient’s symptoms.Coronary angiography was performed when patient stabiliziedhemodynamically and stent was placed to obtuse marginalartery which is a branch of the circumflex artery. After theprocedure, the patient without symptoms was dischargedwith the recommendations. Patients who LMWH administeredsubcutaneously and was performed suddenly abdominal painwith a palpable mass in physical examination, RAIH shouldbe considered in the differential diagnosis. In patients withpredisposing factors to reduce the risk of fatal RAIH, lowerdose of LMWH should be used and care should be taken tomake the injection under the skin. When RAIH develops, earlydiagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach and not be delayedtreatment are the most important factor in combating thesecomplications.

Özet

Düşük molekül ağırlıklı heparinler (DMAH) akut koroner sendrom (AKS) tedavisinde sık kullanılmaktadır. DMAH kullanımına bağlı en sık görülen komplikasyon kanama olmakla birlikte hemodinamik bozukluğa yol açabilecek kanamalar nadiren görülmektedir. Burada subkütan DMAH kullanım sonrası rektus abdominis kas içi hematom (RKİH) gelişen bir olgu sunuldu. Yetmiş üç yaşında kadın hasta AKS ve pnömoni tanısı ile servise yatırıldı. AKS nedeni ile antikoagülan tedavi olarak DMAH başlandı. Takiplerde ani gelişen karın ağrısı olan hastanın yapılan batın ultrasonografi ve batın bilgisayarlı tomografide sol RKİH saptandı. Acil cerrahi düşünülmeyen hastaya destek tedavisi (eritrosit süspansiyon replasmanı, sıvı ve analjezik tedavi) verildi ve hemodinamik olarak yakın takip edildi. Takiplerde hematom geriledi, hastanın semptomları azaldı. Hemodinamik olarak stabilleşen hastaya yapılan koroner anjiyografi neticesinde sirkümfleks arter obtus marjinal yan dalına stent yerleştirildi. İşlem sonrası semptomu olmayan hasta önerilerle taburcu edildi. Subkütan DMAH uygulanan, ani gelişen karın ağrısı ve fizik muayenede ele gelen kitlesi olan hastalarda RKİH ayırıcı tanıda akla gelmelidir. Ölümle sonuçlanabilen RKİH riskini azaltmak için predispozan faktörü olan hastalarda daha düşük doz DMAH kullanılmalı ve enjeksiyonun deri altına yapılmasına dikkat edilmelidir. RKİH geliştiğinde erken tanı, multidisipliner yaklaşım ve tedavinin geciktirilmemesi bu komplikasyon ile mücadeledeki en önemli unsurlardır.
