Postoperative arterial thromboembolism is rare. However, coronary and renal embolism after the procedure has never been reported in the literature, so far. We report a 50-year-old woman who developed arterial thromboembolism 4 hours after local endometrial resection and curettage. Thrombus disappeared after anticoagulant therapy was started as soon as possible. How do strange clots form and by what route do they occur in the arterial system?Keywords: embolism, uterine curettage, coronary artery, renal artery |
