Abstract

Pulmonary embolism is a fierce emergency and requires early and accurate management. The treatment of pulmonary thromboembolism becomes increasingly difficult in patients at high bleeding risk. We reported a case of successful embolectomy in a high-risk patient with acute pulmonary thromboembolism on the background of traumatic brain injury, as well as a reviewed of the literature on similar patients.
