Abstract
We report the case of a 14-year-old boy treated successfully by pulmonary embolectomy for massive pulmonary embolism, 18 days after bilateral hip surgery. He has a family history of pulmonary embolism and an inherited antithrombin deficiency. His diagnosis was confirmed by spiral computed tomography scan. We believe that pulmonary embolectomy has a role in selected cases in children.
