Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Large, central bilateral pulmonary emboli led to cor pulmonale and severe hypoxemia in a patient who had recently undergone cardiac surgery. After percutaneous catheter fragmentation and thrombolysis of the emboli failed, the left and right interlobal pulmonary arteries were recanalized by placement of self-expanding Wallstent endoprostheses through the clots. Pulmonary perfusion was restored to the lower lobes, and the patient demonstrated rapid clinical improvement. |
