Intraoperative Fibrinolysis Associated With Successful Ultralong Resuscitation for Pulmonary Embolism: A Case Report

Abstract

The present case demonstrates a successful intraoperative administration of fibrinolysis in the setting of cardiac arrest during orthopedic surgery. It was combined with an extralong resuscitation with successful outcome and no complication. No previous case of intraoperative fibrinolysis is reported in the literature and full recovery after extralong resuscitation is only described in a few cases.
