A 37-year-old man with HAE was referred to our hospital because of discomfort in the wisdom teeth. To prevent angioedema, he took oral administration of tranexamic acid since a week ago and was injected tranexamic acid and C1 inhibitor before surgery. He underwent wisdom tooth extraction under intravenous sedation. After surgery, the patient was not eventful post extraction period.
