A case of pulmonary hemorrhage due to drug-induced pneumonitis secondary to ticagrelor therapy

Timothy J Whitmore et al. Chest. .

Abstract

We report a case of significant pulmonary hemorrhage developing shortly after commencing ticagrelor and aspirin therapy and requiring coronary artery bypass grafting to safely cease the antiplatelet therapy. Lung biopsy findings were consistent with drug-induced lung injury. Clinicians should be aware of this significant adverse event with this drug class.
