Pulmonary Embolism Complicated With Cardiopulmonary Arrest Treated With Combination of Thrombolytics and Aspiration Thrombectomy

Systemic thrombolytic therapy is frequently used in the treatment of massive pulmonary embolism. We describe a case of pulseless electrical activity arrest, refractory obstructive shock in the setting of massive pulmonary embolism despite tissue plasminogen activator that was successfully treated wi...

Sumario:Systemic thrombolytic therapy is frequently used in the treatment of massive pulmonary embolism. We describe a case of pulseless electrical activity arrest, refractory obstructive shock in the setting of massive pulmonary embolism despite tissue plasminogen activator that was successfully treated with catheter-directed aspiration thrombectomy. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
