- Abstract
Pulmonary thromboembolism is a life-threatening disease, particularly during pregnancy. We report a case of successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation followed by surgical thrombectomy in a 35-year-old woman at 28 weeks of gestation. Intracardiac echocardiography was percutaneously located behind the uterus, and greatly assisted monitoring of the foetal condition and haemodynamic status.
