Treatment of pulmonary embolism with ultrasound-accelerated thrombolysis after coronary revascularization

Kalp cerrahisi sonrası pulmoner emboli nadir görülen, fakat ölümcül bir komplikasyondur. Bu yazıda, koroner revaskülarizasyon sonrası yüksek riskli pulmoner emboli gelişen, ultrasonla hızlandırılmış tromboliz ile tedavi edilen 46 yaşında bir erkek olgu sunuldu.

Koroner revaskülarizasyon sonrası pulmoner embolinin ultrasonla hızlandırılmış tromboliz ile tedavisi

Pulmonary embolism after cardiac surgery is an uncommon, but fatal complication. Herein, we report a 46-year-old male case of high-risk pulmonary embolism after coronary revascularization who was treated with ultrasound-accelerated thrombolysis.
