Abstract EN
The association between cancer and venous thromboembolism (VTE) is well established.
Saddle pulmonary embolism is not uncommon in hospitalized cancer patients and confers a higher mortality.
We report a case of saddle pulmonary embolism in a cancer patient with thrombocytopenia, discuss the bleeding risks, complexity of managing such patients and review current guidelines.
