A 44-year-old woman who has a DVT of the lower extremity suddenly
gasps and collapses. She is found to be hypotensive. Resuscitative measures are attempted without success. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis? |
B. Saddle embolus
+ |
A saddle embolus or straddling embolism is a thrombus that straddles a dividing blood vessel. Saddle emboli are often lethal because they prevent the entry of blood into the lung and cause acute anoxia. These emboli typically originate in the veins of the lower extremities and are carried by venous blood to the vena cava and then through the right atrium and ventricle into the pulmonary artery. A massive thromboembolus may occlude the pulmonary artery or its main branches and cause sudden death.
