【 摘 要 】

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third most common cause of cardiovascular mortality in the United States, and the submassive PE accounts for 20%-25% of all acute PE . In the last decade, endovascular therapy with catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) intervention has shown great success in the treatment of submassive PE. There is limited data regarding using these devices to treat patients with concomitant abdominal aortic and renal vessel clots. Herein, we present a case of a 23-year-old male who presented with submassive PE associated with abdominal aortic thrombosis and renal infarcts . The patient was successfully treated with CDT with complete resolution of pulmonary and bilateral renal artery clots.
