Abstract

In this paper, we report two cases of acute massive pulmonary thromboemboli with pulmonary artery thrombus, in which disappearance of thrombus followed fibrinolytic therapy were documented at transthoracic echocardiographic follow-up. Data from these limited experiences suggest that, transthoracic echocardiography might be useful as a first diagnostic screening in cases of suspect pulmonary thromboembolism and thrombolytic therapy might be considered in patients with pulmonary artery thrombus with pulmonary embolism.
