Massive Saddle Pulmonary Embolism in a Preterm Neonate With Successful Emergent Open Embolectomy

Pulmonary embolism in the neonate is a rare, life-threatening emergency. Risk factors for neonatal pulmonary embolism (PE) include sepsis, asphyxia, prematurity, and vascular catheterisation. We report the case of a preterm neonate with a massive saddle pulmonary thrombosis of unidentified etiology....

description Pulmonary embolism in the neonate is a rare, life-threatening emergency. Risk factors for neonatal pulmonary embolism (PE) include sepsis, asphyxia, prematurity, and vascular catheterisation. We report the case of a preterm neonate with a massive saddle pulmonary thrombosis of unidentified etiology. Prompt diagnosis by cardiology allowed an emergent lifesaving open surgical thrombectomy, underscoring the importance of efficient multidisciplinary teamwork. Pediatric health-care professionals must be aware of this rare entity when initial oxygen desaturation management fails, even when obvious risk factors for PE are not apparent. We emphasise the importance of seamless multidisciplinary communication and proactive surgical consultation.
