Diagnosis of right pulmonary artery embolism by transesophageal echocardiography. A case report.
The authors report a case of a fifty-one-year-old man undergoing rehabilitation therapy following a stroke who suddenly developed right-sided pleuritic chest pain with dyspnea. Transesophageal echocardiography was used to demonstrate a nonocclusive right pulmonary artery embolus, when other investigative modalities failed to establish the diagnosis.
