Zusammenfassung:Thrombus formafigtion plays a significant role in disease of saphenous vein bypass grafts. Use of oral anticoagulants has not been tested in treatment of thrombotic occlusion of saphenous vein graft (SVG) disease. Here we describe the use of the novel oral anticoagulant rivaroxaban in the treatment of occlusive SVG disease with intraluminal thrombus, leading to successful recanalization. A formação de trombos tem um papel significativo na doença do bypass do enxerto da veia safena (EVS). A utilização de anticoagulantes orais não foi testada no tratamento da oclusão trombótica na doença do EVS. Apresentamos o uso de um novo anticoagulante oral, o rivaroxabano, no tratamento da doença oclusiva do EVS com trombo intraluminal e recanalização bem-sucedida.
