  • Title: Spontaneous splenic rupture due to rivaroxaban.
    Author: Nagaraja V, Cranney G, Kushwaha V.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2018 Mar 05; 2018():. PubMed ID: 29507024.
    Abstract:
    In the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic disease, novel oral anticoagulants have emerged as alternatives to warfarin. A major challenge continues to be the reversal of their anticoagulant effect in the case of life-threatening haemorrhagic complications. We report a case of spontaneous splenic rupture treated by splenic artery embolisation in a 77-year-old woman who was anticoagulated with rivaroxaban.
