    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • Massive pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening condition requiring prompt diagnosis and intervention.
    • Surgical embolectomy is considered in select cases when thrombolysis is contraindicated or ineffective.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with massive pulmonary thromboembolism, diagnosed via right heart catheterization.
    • The patient underwent urgent surgical pulmonary embolectomy under extracorporeal circulation.

    Findings:

    • Successful surgical removal of the pulmonary embolus was achieved.
    • Postoperative management included mechanical ventilation, inotropic support, and anticoagulant therapy.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the efficacy of urgent surgical intervention for massive PE in well-equipped cardiothoracic surgical centers.
    • Prompt surgical treatment can lead to favorable outcomes in critically ill patients with massive pulmonary embolism.
