Case report

Treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolic disease when full anticoagulation is absolutely or relatively contraindicated is difficult. We report on a case where the chosen treatment proved unsuccessful. Our patient had a primary intracerebral haemorrhage, complicated by a proximal deep vein thrombosis and despite placement of a vena caval filter, had multiple pulmonary emboli and died.

Keywords: deep vein thrombosis, intracerebral haemorrhage, vena caval filters
