Mediastinal hematoma following thrombolysis for acute pulmonary thromboembolism
We report a case of mediastinal hematoma with new onset hemodynamic compromise following thrombolysis for acute massive pulmonary embolism. Clinico-radiological features and Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) findings helped in the identification of the bleeding site in our case. Despite early diagnosis and timely intervention, the patient succumbed to secondary complications.
