Abstract
|
|
|
|
99mTc-labeled red blood cell scintigraphy, a sensitive and specific diagnostic test, is useful for patients suspected of suffering from active gastrointestinal bleeding. This study follows a case of a patient who was suspected of gastrointestinal bleeding after an inferior vena cava filter was inserted due to a deep vein thrombosis of the femoral vein. To evaluate an exact focus of bleeding, 99mTc-labeled red blood cell scintigraphy was executed. Herein, an unanticipated finding of 99mTc-labeled red blood cell scintigraphy probably due to a thrombus on the inferior vena cava filter is reported.
