ABSTRACT
A 73-year-old woman who presented with chest discomfort visited the emergency room. The 12-lead electrocardiography showed ST-segment elevation in II, III, and lead augmented vector foot. Emergent coronary angiography revealed a thrombus in the distal right coronary artery. Percutaneous coronary angioplasty with a stent was performed. After the procedure, persistent dyspnea occurred. Her chest computed tomography (CT) showed occlusion of the bilateral pulmonary artery. We could not find a source for the embolization or a hypercoagulable state. We started a course of dual antiplatelets with oral anticoagulants. Pulmonary embolism was resolved at follow-up chest CT scan. Aspirin, clopidogrel and warfarin were given for 6 months. The patient is doing well now 1 year after the episode.
