Intraoperative pulmonary thromboembolism is a high mortality situation. Early mortality in patients with pulmonary thromboembolism varies from 2% in normotensive patients to 30% in patients with cardiogenic shock. The use of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation can improve survival and neurologic outcomes of cardiac arrest. We report a case of intraoperative massive pulmonary thromboembolism with circulatory collapse and cardiac arrest during anesthesia for pelvic bone fracture surgery, which were rescued by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Pulmonary thromboembolism is often clinically silent and difficult to diagnose, and can be fatal to patients with belated treatment. This complication is seen in patients who underwent TRAM breast reconstruction. Multiple factors are involved in this disease such as the presence of malignancy itself, major surgery and therapy-related interventions. TRAM surgery is a lengthy procedure involving mastectomy, flap surgery and abdominoplasty. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence and the correlation between presurgical risk factors(BMI and age) of symptomatic pulmonary thromboembolism after TRAM surgery and the incidence. From July 2001 to March 2005 a total of 384 pedicled TRAM reconstruction of breast was performed in 382 patients at Asan Medical Center. The average of Body mass index was $21.9kg/m^2$ and mean age of the patients was 37.9 years old. We diagnosed symptomatic pulmonary thromboembolism using ventilation/perfusion lung scan and pulmonary embolism computed tomography. Incidence of in-hospital symptomatic pulmonary thromboembolism was 1.3%. BMI and age showed no significant statistical relationship to pulmonary thromboembolism. But the incidence of symptomatic pulmonary thromboembolism in obese patients (BMI > 25) was 3.75%. According to the guideline of the 7th American College of Chest Physicians Consensus Conference on Antithrombotic and Thrombolytic Therapy, the incidence of 3.75% was classified as high risk group. The prevention of pulmonary thromboembolism should be considered in cases of obese patients with low molecular weight heparin(BMI > 25).

Venous aneurysms are uncommon in the lower limb and are more frequently found in the neck and thoracic and visceral veins. However, they have been reported to cause thrombosis, pulmonary thromboembolism, and other related complications. Popliteal venous aneurysms are often undetected because they are usually asymptomatic, but they may cause pulmonary thromboembolic events. We experienced a case of a 44-year-old man who was referred for recurrent pulmonary thromboembolism. He showed no other symptoms or signs except shortness of breath. A popliteal venous aneurysm was diagnosed incidentally because the examinations were performed to detect a deep vein thrombosis in relationship to the patient's history of pulmonary thromboembolism. We report a case of surgical treatment for a popliteal venous aneurysm that was complicated by pulmonary thromboembolism.

Acetabular and Pelvic ring fractures are major high-energy trauma injuries and are often combined with other injuries. In particular, cause of long duration of immobilization and combined injuries, venous thromboembolism is a common complication in trauma patients with pelvic or acetabular fractures. We report a case of a fatal pulmonary thromboembolism during the acetabulum fracture operation in a 62-year-old male patient.

만성 폐동맥 색전증은 비교적 드문 질환으로 저산소증과 폐동맥 고혈압을 일으켜 결국 호흡부전 및 우심부전을 초래한다. 급성 폐동맥 색전증 환자들은 대부분 혈전 방지제, 혈전용해제 등의 내과적 치료에 잘 치료되나 만성 폐동맥 색전증의 경우 섬유화된 혈전이 폐동맥벽에 견고히 붙어있어 내과적 치료에는 별 효과가 없어, 수술적 치료를 고려할 수 있겠다. 본원에서는 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환 및 만성 폐동맥 색전증으로 진단 받고 타 병원에서 수 차례 입원 치료를 받아 오던 47세 남자환자를 간헐적인 완전 순환 정지를 이용하여 폐색전증에 대한 내막 절제술을 시행하여 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다

폐동맥 육종은 매우 드문 고등급 악성종양으로, 주로 근위부의 탄력형 폐동맥에, 대개는 종양 충만(tumoral impaction)의 형태로 나타난다. 임상양상과 영상학적 소견이 유사하여 주로 폐 혈전색전증으로 오인되며 가끔 혈관염으로 오인되기도 한다. 우리는 비교적 드문 위치와 형태로 인해 폐 혈전색전증과 혈관염으로 오인했던 폐동맥 내막육종을 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 더불어 증례를 보고하고자 한다.

Venous thromboembolism represents as an obstruction of a vein by a blood clot in the blood stream. The most common manifestations of venous thromboembolism (VTE) are pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremity. This article reviews the recent advances in this spectrum and introduces new drugs that will be used in venous thromboembolism in the near future.

Pulmonary thromboembolism originated mostly from the venous thrombus, especially deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities, which migrated upward and lodged the pulmonary vasculatures, Massive pulmonary thromboembolism usually leads to in \ulcornerhospital mortality if the patient was not treated properly. Under the cardiopulmonary bypass, a 49-year old man was treated successfully by emergent pulmonary embolectomy of pulmonary thromboembolism, which originated from the deep vein thrombosis in the right leg. Ligation or filtering device insertion of the inferior vena cava was not performed. The patient’s postoperative course was uneventful and discharged on postoperative 15th day He continued to receive oral anticoagulation with aspirin and persantin, which had been started on the third postoperative day. And he was well till recent days through the outpatient follow-up. The clinical courses of this patient are described, and massive pulmonary embolism and its management are discussed.

Pulmonary thromboembolism originated most commonly from the venous thrombus, especially deep vein thrombus in the leg, which migrated to and occluded the pulmonary vasculatures. The failure of clot lysis and repeated embolic episodes resulted in the hemodynamic compromise -that is- in the increasing in the pulmonary vascular resistance, which would cause the right ventricle failure[Car Pulmonale]. Under the cardiopulmonary bypass, 20 year old male patient was treated successfully by thromboembolectomy of pulmonary thromboembolism with pulmonary hypertension, which originated from the deep vein thrombus in the leg. The results of radiologic studies and clinical evaluations were excellent in that the postoperative lung perfusion scan showed the newly increased perfusion of post-embolectomy territories and in the arterial blood gas finding of 76 from 66[mmHg] in PaO2. The patient was uneventful and discharged on postop. $ 14 days with anticoagulant continued.
