Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Early postoperative pulmonary embolism (PE) carries a high mortality rate of approximately 46%.
  • Thrombolytic therapy is often contraindicated in the early postoperative period.
  • Conservative or surgical interventions are typically considered.

Observation:

  • A 68-year-old male patient developed PE on the first day after undergoing a laparotomy.
  • The patient received systemic thrombolytic therapy despite the early postoperative timing.

Findings:

  • This case highlights the administration of systemic thrombolytic therapy for early postoperative PE.
  • It presents a therapeutic intervention in a scenario where it is relatively contraindicated.

Implications:

  • This case may inform clinical decision-making regarding the management of early postoperative PE.
  • Further research into the safety and efficacy of thrombolytic therapy in this specific context is warranted.
