  • Title: [Embolectomy in fulminant lung embolism and persistent electromechanical uncoupling--a case report and review of the literature].
    Author: Peters S, Laas J, Wagner TO, Frei U, Borst HG.
    Journal: Vasa; 1990; 19(1):59-62. PubMed ID: 2343658.
    Abstract:
    A 56-year-old patient with deep vein thrombosis shown by phlebography developed a massive pulmonary embolism during perfusion ventilation lung scanning with complete occlusion of the main pulmonary artery branch. 40 minutes after beginning of symptoms the patient suffered from persistent heart failure. Under external heart massage and controlled ventilation a cardio-pulmonary bypass was established after sterniotomy. After manual manipulations to express peripheral emboli pulmonary embolectomy and cava clipping was performed. The patient recovered without neurological damage.
