摘要
Thrombolytic therapy is life saving in patients with pulmonary embolism. Surgical thromboembolectomy is indicated in patients with failed thrombolytic therapy and those with contraindication for repeat thrombolysis. This report describes a case of successful pulmonary thromboembolectomy in a patient with submassive pulmonary embolism and aborted thrombolytic therapy. © 2016, Indian Association of Cardiovascular-Thoracic Surgeons.
