She is on coumadin secondary to hx of mitral valve replacement. INR is 2.3, and pt is w/o petechiae, ecchymoses, or hx of epistaxis or bleeding gums, etc. PE is unremarkable, and a pap (neg hx abnl past ones) is pending. Sono with heterogenous endometrial stripe, at 7 mm. I am planning to do an endometrial pipelle sampling. Comments appreciated. Thanks Hank Just as a tangential thought: If she's got an appropriate mechanical valve, some of them have data to support the NON-use of Coumadin nowadays. She may not fit the criteria, but you can get her to ask the cardiologist if she could be switched to Aspirin/Plavix or whatever as appropriate "anticoagulation." As I say, it may not be right for her, but if she fits, it'd be a lot easier and safer than being on Coumadin forever.
