Large, bilateral central pulmonary thromboemboli (PTE) led to cor pulmonale and severe hypoxemia in a patient who had undergone Hardy's operation. After several unsuccessful efforts (thrombolysis using a percutaneous catheter and aspiration of the emboli), mechanical clot fragmentation using a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) balloon was attempted. This procedure was successful, resulting in a decrease in pulmonary artery pressure from 58/22 (mean 34) mmHg to 20/10 (mean 13) mmHg together with an increase in aortic pressure from 64/36 (mean 45) mmHg to 112/60 (mean 77) mmHg. Thus, mechanical clot fragmentation using a PTA balloon is a promising method for reducing pulmonary artery pressure and increasing aortic pressure in patients with acute PTE.
