Abstract EN
We here present the successful initial treatment and secondary prophylaxis of superficial venous thrombosis secondary to Behçet’s disease by a novel anticoagulant drug, rivaroxaban (Xarelto®).
To our knowledge, this is the first case of using an oral direct inhibitor of FXa in this setting.
Our findings are promising; the outcome was favourable without any adverse effect noted.
We propose that the patients with Behçet’s disease and venous thrombosis might benefit from the advantages of the new anticoagulant drug.
