Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Amniotic fluid embolism is a rare but devastating condition associated with a very high rate of morbidity and mortality. The treatment has traditionally been aggressive supportive care. We report a case of a term pregnant woman with complete cardiovascular collapse secondary to a paradoxical amniotic fluid embolism. The embolism was seen on transesophageal echocardiogram during an emergency Cesarean section as a free-floating interatrial clot through a patent foramen ovale. She was subsequently and successfully treated with immediate cardiopulmonary bypass, thromboembolectomy, and closure of the patent foramen ovale. |
