[Surgery for massive pulmonary embolism following coronary angioplasty--a case report].
A case of a 49-year-old female with acute coronary syndrome is presented. The patient underwent coronary angioplasty with stent implantation. Due to the recurrence of pain and dyspnea a repeated coronary angiography was performed 3 hours later which confirmed good result of angioplasty. For the next 48 hours a local compression on both femoral arteries was maintained and the patient received full anticoagulant and antiplatelet treatment. However, clinical condition of the patient continued to deteriorate. Echocardiography and spiral computerised tomography revealed the presence of a massive pulmonary embolism. The patient underwent surgery and fully recovered.
