Saddle embolus diameter reduction at bifurcation suggests possible rupture; single case report leaves open whether prevalence is underestimated on imaging.
Interpulmonary saddle emboli appear to be a transient form of acute pulmonary embolism with a predilection for rupture at the bifurcation, suggesting their frequency may be underestimated.
Enzweiler et al. (2002) studied this question.
