Abstrakt: We present a 67-year-old woman who was hemodynamically stable with radiographic evidence of saddle pulmonary embolism (PE) in the main pulmonary artery and mobile thrombus in the right heart. Endovascular thrombectomy was scheduled under general anesthesia. Before anesthesia induction, femoral vessel access was planned under local anesthesia in case emergent cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) was needed. Immediately after abdominal pannus retraction was applied for better groin access, the patient developed cardiac arrest, and advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) protocol was initiated. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) confirmed acute massive PE. CPB was emergently established. Surgical embolectomy was conducted with successful outcome.
