ABSTRACT
The massive pulmonary thromboembolism is serious illness that can lead to death within an hour after its occurrence. The incidence of cardiac arrest caused by massive pulmonary thromboembolism has been known as about 7%. Invasive therapeutic modalities to treat massive pulmonary thromboembolism during cardiac arrest including thoracotomy or cardiopulmonary bypass have been shown little effect. Administration of a thrombolytic agent is an alternative choice of treating massive pulmonary thromboembolism during cardiac arrest. This report describes our experience of cases with massive pulmonary thromboembolism that were treated with administration of a thrombolytic agent during CPR.
