Spontaneous hematoma in the setting of dual anti-platelet therapy with ticagrelor: A case report

چکیده
A 69-year-old male patient was admitted to hospital because a lump was discovered, accompanied with pain lasting 5 h under his right scapula. Two months earlier, he had undergone a double-stent insertion operation due to lesions on the end of the left main coronary artery, the opening of left circumflex artery, and the opening of the anterior descending branch. After the operation, he was administered with dual anti-platelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and ticagrelor and was diagnosed with hematoma under his right scapula through ultrasonic inspection. It was established that no other factor, except DAPT, was responsible for his spontaneous hematoma.
