venous thromboembolism, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, vena cava filter.Abstract
The mainstay of the treatment of venous thromboembolism is anticoagulation. Vena cava filters should be considered when there is a contraindication for anticoagulant treatment, a complication of anticoagulation resulting in cessation of therapy or pulmonary embolism recurrence during therapeutic anticoagulation. We present the management of a case of thromboembolic disease in a cancer patient who developed a hemoperitoneum.
