Abstract :

We present the case of an 86-year-old man with permanent atrial fibrillation on chronic treatment with a direct oral thrombin inhibitor (dabigatran 110 mg bid) with evidence of segmental pulmonary embolism on thoracic CT, immediately followed by ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. Blood analysis revealed reduced renal function and high plasmatic level of dabigatran.
