Treatment of recurrent pulmonary thromboembolism with ecosonic endovascular system
Abstract
Venous thromboembolism is a collective term that describes two diseases, pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) and deep vein thrombosis, with or without symptoms but often accompanying each other. Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) develops in most cases due to thrombus formation in the deep veins of the lower extremities and migrates to the pulmonary artery and/or its branches. It is a preventable disease with high mortality and morbidity and includes diagnostic difficulties. Recurrence may occur despite treatment in 5-23% of PTE cases. Patients may apply to the hospital with symptoms such as unexplained dyspnea, stabbing or atypical chest pain, hemoptysis, and syncope. We aimed to present the patient who had chronic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and was frequently hospitalized due to recurrent massive PTE. In our case, disease status requires catheter thrombolytic therapies two times in three months.

Keywords : Venous thromboembolism, massif pulmonary thromboembolism, ecosonic endovascular system
