Postpartum pulmonary embolectomy; a surgical challenge and favourable outcome.
1997
A 23-year-old female underwent uneventful caesarian section, which was followed by massive pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary embolectomy on cardiopulmonary bypass was performed, and was complicated by massive intraabdominal haemorrhage due to a hepatic subcapsular rupture. To our knowledge, this is the first surgically orientated case of postpartum pulmonary embolectomy to be reported in the literature.
