Résumé
Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is a genetic disorder that affects men. An augmented incidence of the thromboembolic event described in patients with KS. A 34-year-old male identified with a definitive diagnosis of KS was hospitalized to our cardiac surgery center through the emergency with chief complaints of acute chest pain and dyspnea. Saddle pulmonary thromboembolism was established from chest Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA). The patient's symptoms resolved after embolectomy via surgery. There is a tendency for hypercoagulability in KS. This tendency is because of hormonal discrepancy and hereditary thrombophilic factors. So, patients with KS and past medical history of venous thromboembolism necessitate constant oral anticoagulation therapy.
