摘要：
We describe a 54-yr-old man with cardiogenic shock caused by acute right heart failure after pulmonary embolectomy. Inhalation of nitric oxide led to immediate improvement in respiratory and haemodynamic variables. Inhaled nitric oxide can be used to reduce acute right heart failure until conventional therapy can provide successful haemodynamic stability.
