Pulmonary and Deep Vein Thrombosis in a Young Patient with Protein S Deficiency: Report of a Case

Abstract: A 27-year-old man, who was diagnosed as having familial protein S deficiency, developed deep vein thrombosis complicated with pulmonary thromboembolism. Anticoagulant therapy and thrombolytic therapy were commenced after the insertion of a temporary inferior vena cava filter (t-IVC-f).
