Administration of thrombolytic therapy during CPR for cardiac arrest due to massive pulmonary embolism can result in full clinical and echocardiographic recovery.
May warrant thrombolysis consideration during CPR for massive PE arrest; leaves open need for prospective trials.
Extensive Pulmonary embolism led to a patients’ acute deterioration to cardiogenic shock. Thrombolytic therapy had been administered during cardio-pulmonary resuscitation following cardiac arrest. The patient fully recovered and the right ventricle demonstrated normal transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) studies 16 hours after the arrest event.
