Abstract
|
|
|
|
Acute massive pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is a life threatening medical condition. Therefore, prompt diagnosis and rapid recovery of the pulmonary flow is essential for decreasing the associated morbidity and mortality. We report here on a case of a 68-year old woman for whom we attempted percutaneous catheter thrombectomy in the treatment of an acute massive PTE.
