Akut Masif Pulmoner Embolide Lokal İntravasküler Trombolitik Uygulama: Olgu Sunumu.

Pulmonary embolism is a common disease with high mortality and morbidity rates. Incidence of the disease is increasing associated with the development in the diagnostic methods. Anticoagulation is the standard treatment for pulmonary embolism. However, thrombolytic treatment is a significant alternative in acute massive pulmonary embolism as it provides rapid cloth resolution. Although a number of studies related with thrombolytic treatment and its indications are published recently, patterns and schemes of application are still remains as a debate. Herein, 72 year old patient with pulmonary embolism is presented. He was symptomatic with hypoxemia and hypotension. Diagnosis was made with spiral pulmonary angiography as "acute massive pulmonary embolism". He developed hemoptysis as a result of intravenous thrombolytic treatment (rt- PA: recombinant tissue plasminogen activator) and was successfully treated by local intravascular thrombolytic treatment (rt-PA).
