Rescue pulmonary thromboembolectomy in a case of aborted thrombolytic therapy

Abstract

Thrombolytic therapy is life saving in patients with pulmonary embolism. Surgical thromboembolectomy is indicated in patients with failed thrombolytic therapy and those with contraindication for repeat thrombolysis. This report describes a case of successful pulmonary thromboembolectomy in a patient with submassive pulmonary embolism and aborted thrombolytic therapy.
