Popis: Arterial and venous thromboses are very prevalent diseases and it has been discovered that they share some common pathways, but their presentation in young patients is rare and should raise concern for thrombophilia. Therefore, the case is presented of a 34 year-old female with no prior pertinent history and with no predisposing factors. She was diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism, with an incidental finding of a left ventricular thrombus. A coronary artery thrombosis was also found. The patient met the criteria for a thrombophilia work-up, but the authors would like to express their concern on whether these tests are truly necessary, as they would not have change the patient management.
