摘要：

A 67-year-old woman presented with severe cardiopulmonary insufficiency 17 days after an uneventful laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Pulmonary thromboembolism was demonstrated by transthoracic echocardiogram and later confirmed at surgery. With the aid of a cardiopulmonary bypass, a thrombectomy of the right atrium and the pulmonary artery was accomplished. The patient could not be weaned off cardiopulmonary bypass and ultimately died. We therefore recommend antithromboembolism therapy with low-molecular-weight heparin in selected cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
