We have reported a rare case of DVT in a 25-year-old patient with a known case of Protein S deficiency with INR within therapeutic index. He was seen in the ED and transferred to the Medical ward after diagnosis in the ED using doppler US. The patient was successfully treated with heparin and warfarin with a higher than usual optimal INR. This case adds to the growing evidence that PS deficiency is one of the rare causes of DVT, and also raises awareness that thrombosis can still occur in the current optimal INR for such patients. This case report necessitates the revision of what should be the optimal INR for patients with Protein S deficiency who develop thrombosis in the current optimal INR.

Stent thrombosis (ST) is one of the major complications that occur in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) with stents. Various factors have been attributed to the development of ST, and several strategies have been recommended for its management. Protein C or protein S deficiencies may uncommonly be responsible for coronary arterial thrombosis. We report a young woman with recurrent stent thrombosis due to the deficiency of protein S. After coronary stenting, stent thrombosis occurred two times despite aggressive medical therapy. This report suggests that the deficiency of protein C or S should be born in mind in a young patient with recurrent thrombotic events, and that anticoagulants in addition to antiplatelet agents considered in the presence of their deficiency DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/cardio.v6i2.18364 Cardiovasc. j. 2014; 6(2): 175-179

We offer our sincere apologies for having the wrong PDF loaded for this article.Stroke in child poses a major health problem. Thrombophilic factors have been implicated in 4-8% of young stroke worldwide. Protein S deficiency is a very rare cause of stroke. A few cases have been reported in literature. We are reporting a rare case of protein S deficiency causing stroke in a two year old child.J Nepal Paediatr Soc 2015;35(2):192-194
