Abstract EN
A 48-year-old female was admitted after experiencing a brief syncopal episode.
Three weeks ago the patient sustained a right arm humerus bone fracture in a motor vehicle accident.
Since the accident, her mobility has been limited.
CT angiogram of the chest revealed massive bilateral pulmonary emboli.
A 2D echocardiogram was performed, which demonstrated McConnell sign and severe right ventricle dysfunction.
Considering potential of hemodynamic instability, the patient received fibrinolytic therapy with Alteplase.
A subsequent 2D echocardiogram showed complete resolution of McConnell sign and right ventricle dysfunction.
