This gentleman was evaluated and along with routine investigations, thromboelastography study was done, which pinpointed the cause of refractory bleeding and guided the treatment strategy to manage the bleeding. The aim of this case report is to increase awareness amongst medical personnel to diagnose and treat this condition at the earliest to conserve resources and to decrease morbidity of the patients.
