Sickle-Cell Trait as a Risk Factor for an Unprovoked Venous Thromboembolism: A Case Report

In this case report, we examine the increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with sickle-cell trait (SCT), illustrated by a patient with SCT who developed pulmonary embolism (PE) despite low scores on conventional risk assessment tools. The case prompts both a discussion of risk as...
