Abstract:
Massive endobronchial hemorrhage is a lethal complication in pulmonary embolectomy. We report a case of massive endobronchial hemorrhage occurring after successful restoration of pulmonary blood flow using cardiopulmonary bypass in a patient with pulmonary embolism. Two possible causative factors of this complication are described.
