title: [Massive pulmonary thromboembolism--case report].
abstract: This paper presents a case with massive pulmonary embolism which has been successfully treated at the V.M.A. Belgrade. The diagnosis of massive pulmonary thromboembolism by right heart catheterization was confirmed and urgent surgery was performed. The pulmonary embolus was surgically removed under extra corporeal circulation, given successful reanimation and anesthesia. Postoperatively was treated by mechanical ventilation, inotropic drugs and anticoagulant therapy. The presentation of this case is justified because in well organized cardiosurgical units, the urgent surgery gives most satisfactory results.
