A sixty-eight-year-old woman with a clinical diagnosis of pulmonary embolism and large right-heart embolus on echocardiography is presented. Because of the critical clinical condition of the patient and the inability to perform surgical intervention, thrombolytic treatment (streptokinase) was administered. The patient's condition improved, the right-heart embolus disappeared, and on the perfusion lung scan there was only one small perfusion defect in the right lung. The authors consider thrombolysis to be appropriate treatment for right-heart thromboembolism whenever surgical embolectomy is not possible.
