Abstract:
Through the analysis of a case of cholesterol crystal embolism(CCE)suspected to be caused by rivaroxaban tablets,it is suggested that clinical pharmacists should be alert to the occurrence of CCE when using anticoagulant drugs such as rivaroxaban in the clinical treatment of patients with atherosclerosis disease,especially for patients with high risk factors(such as smoking,hypercholesterolemia,hypertension,obesity and diabetes)of CCE.Before taking medication,clinical pharmacists should inquire about patients'current medical history and past medication history,and conduct a risk assessment.In case of CCE,timely treatment and curative care are needed.
