Hi
Welcome to HCM
Read your prob,this is nothing but side effect of warferin. most common side effect of warferin is hemorragh, so may be possible that from small vesselas blood leaks out formed a clot. other side effect of warferin is warferin necrosis , in this condition a huge thrombos or clot formed followed by gangren or necrosis.
as warferin is not blood thinner or not helping in reduse size of thrombos, it reduse further progression of thrombosis by act on liver.
so do not worry this is nothing but side effect of that drug only.
