Abstract

Acquired factor V deficiency is extremely rare. Here we report the case of an 88-year-old female patient who presented with hematochezia 1 month after undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Her laboratory results showed an extremely prolonged prothrombin time and an activated partial thromboplastin time, but neither improved after fresh frozen plasma transfusion. She was finally diagnosed with acquired factor V deficiency and successfully treated with an immunosuppressant.
