title: Pulmonary thromboembolism and right heart thromboemboli--an experience with tenecteplase.
abstract: The presence of right heart thromboemboli complicating pulmonary thromboemboli carries with it an increased mortality rate compared to pulmonary thromboemboli alone, but little is known about the optimal management of this difficult clinical situation. We report a case of bilateral pulmonary thromboembolism with right heart thrombi treated successfully with thrombolysis with tenecteplase.
