Abstract
|
|
|
|
It is difficult to diagnose a pulmonary embolism based on the manifestations in the postpartum period alone. However, presyncope and syncope reflect the severity of the disease. Based on the 2 cases reported herein, we propose that spiral computed tomography and embolectomy is an appropriate combination for the management of massive postpartum pulmonary embolism, even in less severe cases.
