Abstract
UNLABELLED: A 30-year-old pregnant woman who suffered from massive pulmonary embolism presented in an unstable hemodynamic status. Angiojet catheter embolectomy and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) were performed, which caused the patient's condition to improve. Use of ECMO was continued during the weaning program, but the patient died of intracranial hemorrhage, a complication of ECMO. KEY WORDS: Angiojet; Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO); Pregnancy; Pulmonary embolism; Thromboectomy.Entities:
