  • Title: Life-threatening pulmonary embolism with right-sided heart thrombus. Rapid recovery with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator.
    Author: d'Ivernois C, Le Metayer P, Fischer B, Haissaguerre M, Warin JF.
    Journal: Chest; 1994 Apr; 105(4):1291-2. PubMed ID: 8162778.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a woman treated with urokinase for acute pulmonary embolism with a right-sided heart thrombus. She developed life-threatening acute cor pulmonale which dramatically improved within 4 h with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA). We emphasize the clinical interest of rtPA for the treatment of life-threatening pulmonary embolism.
