Abstract
BACKGROUND: Anticoagulation therapy after coronary stent implantation is necessary and crucial for patients with severe coronary heart disease. Submucosal bleeding of the colon is an infrequent complication of anticoagulants. METHODS: TWe present the case of a 70-year-old woman with spontaneous submucosal hematoma and active bleeding of her sigmoid colon due to anticoagulants after intracoronary stenting. RESULTS: This patient underwent a timely surgical operation. Treated by our experienced multidisciplinary team, her recovery was smooth without any other major complications. CONCLUSIONS: Surgical intervention is an appropriate therapy for patients with intractable bleeding.
