Abstract

lingual and sublingual hematoma is a rare complication following heparin therapy which may result in serious life-threatening airway obstruction. A 75-year-old female with ischemic heart disease was heparinized for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of the left anterior descending artery leading to sublingual hematoma with difficulty in swallowing and breathing. This paper presents a case report and management of sublingual hematoma following heparin therapy.
