Disappearance of Internal Jugular Vein Thrombosis After Use of Edoxaban Following Head and Neck Reconstruction: A Case Report
Disappearance of Internal Jugular Vein Thrombosis After Use of Edoxaban Following Head and Neck Reconstruction: A Case Report
Review Data
Purpose and Significance of Study: This is a case report of a 62-year-old man with gingival cancer, where an internal jugular vein thrombosis after free flap head and neck reconstruction were resolved and the entire flap survived, following the administration of edoxaban, a direct oral anticoagulant, alone. Although a few reports of using edoxaban for IJVT have been published, this is the first report of the use of edoxaban for IJVT after head and neck reconstruction.
Fit with Scope of Journal: The manuscript is of very high interest for the Journal of Surgical Oncology.
o There are a few minor errors in the manuscript (already corrected in the galley proof) listed below –
· In the 3rd sentence of the Introduction section, “occurring” is misspelled.
· In the 5th sentence of the 2nd paragraph of the Patient Report section, “2” must be replaced with “two”. The same goes for the 1st and 2nd sentences of the 6th paragraph in the Discussion section.
· “,” has been omitted in a few places, e.g., after “successful” in the last sentence of the 1st paragraph in the Discussion section, after “simple” in the last sentence of the 3rd paragraph in the Discussion section, and so on.
· “The” has been omitted in a few places, e.g., before “idiopathic” in the 1st sentence of the 4th paragraph in the Discussion section, before “use” in the last sentence of the same paragraph, and so on.
