Abstract
|
|
|
|
A 29-year-old woman in her 8th week of pregnancy was referred to our hospital for swelling in the lower extremities, rapid onset of dyspnea (1 hr) and pre-syncope. Severe right ventricular dysfunction and moderate pulmonary hypertension were detected using 2-dimentional Doppler echocardiography. In addition, left calf vein and proximal thromboses were detected by venous compression ultrasound imaging. After successful thrombolytic treatment, the patient quickly recovered and was discharged from hospital on subcutaneous low-molecular-weight heparin. She delivered a normal, healthy infant at full-term (40 weeks).
