Abstract
We report the case of a woman treated with urokinase for acute pulmonary embolism with a right-sided heart thrombus. She developed life-threatening acute cor pulmonale which dramatically improved within 4 h with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA). We emphasize the clinical interest of rtPA for the treatment of life-threatening pulmonary embolism.Entities:
