We present two cases of pulmonary thromboembolism.
One patient was a 47-year-old woman treated by transvenous pulmonary embolectomy using a catheter, while the other patient was an 84-years-old woman treated using thrombolytic therapy. The presence of any cardiopulmonary symptoms should alert the physician to the possibility of pulmonary thromboembolism and appropriate prophylaxis and early diagnosis are recommended for preventing pulmonary thromboembolism.
