Alveolar hemorrhage associated with tirofiban
Hemorragia alveolar asociada con tirofiban
Show authors biography
Case: we present a patient with alveolar hemorrhage associated with tirofiban, whose diagnosis was delayed because the initial signs, which were misinterpreted as pneumonia, were unrecognized. Discussion and conclusions: an early and accurate diagnosis is essential to guide the appropriate management of any type of bleeding complication in a patient with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), especially in a case of alveolar hemorrhage (AH).
