| Popis: | Pulmonary embolism is a common disease process but can be difficult to diagnose. Massive pulmonary embolism presenting with profound hypotension, however, is rare. Traditionally those patients suffering hemodynamic compromise from acute pulmonary embolism are treated with intravenous or catheter-directed thrombolysis. When this is contraindicated surgical embolectomy or mechanical techniques via a right heart catheter are alternative options. The former is well established but the latter is less commonly utilised in clinical practice. We report a case of postoperative acute massive pulmonary embolism treated by percutaneous mechanical aspiration Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a commo |
