Key result
Catheter-assisted thrombus removal successfully treated a 74-year-old woman who developed pulmonary thromboembolism with cardiac arrest after lung cancer surgery, allowing discharge without neurological deficits.

Does catheter-assisted thrombus removal improve survival in a patient with acute pulmonary thromboembolism and cardiac arrest after lung cancer surgery?
Immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation combined with catheter-assisted thrombus removal can be life-saving for acute massive pulmonary embolism presenting with cardiac arrest after lung surgery.
May support catheter-assisted removal in select post-lung surgery PE arrest; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.

Mori et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Pulmonary thromboembolism with cardiac arrest (n=1). Catheter-assisted thrombus removal was evaluated on Clinical recovery. Catheter-assisted thrombus removal successfully treated a 74-year-old woman who developed pulmonary thromboembolism with cardiac arrest after lung cancer surgery, allowing discharge without neurological deficits.
