Abstract
|
|
|
|
Acute massive pulmonary artery embolism after pulmonary resection is very rare, but has a high mortality rate. This is one of the most severe complications after pulmonary resection. Acute pulmonary artery embolism developed suddenly in a patient who underwent lobectomy and was recovering without complications. Because the patient’s condition was aggravated after conservative treatment, we did emergency open embolectomy which was successful. Hence, we report this case with a literature review.
