We report here the case of a patient with massive pulmonary embolism (PE) at 28 weeks' gestation, who underwent emergency pulmonary embolectomy via cardiopulmonary bypass.
This study compared reported outcomes in cardiac and thoracic surgery from two validated reporting databases-the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) database and the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP)-from January 2011 to June 2012.
