Saddle Thrombus seen on Transthoracic Echo: A Rare Feature in Pulmonary Embolism.
Its incidence among patients diagnosed with PE is approximately 2.6%. Saddle PE frequently results in significant hemodynamic instability and signals the potential for imminent hemodynamic collapse. We recently came across a patient who presented with breathlessness following transatlantic air travel. Its incidence among patients diagnosed with PE is approximately
2.6%. Saddle PE frequently results in significant hemodynamic instability and signals the potential for imminent hemodynamic collapse. This is rarely seen on Trans-thoracic echocardiography (TTE). We recently came across a patient who presented with breathlessness following
