Tóm tắt

A 16-year-old boy presents with a massive acute pulmonary embolism requiring emergent surgical embolectomy and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for right ventricular failure. Subsequently he was diagnosed with catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome requiring immunosuppression, and then pneumatoceles causing tension pneumothoraxes. The rarity of presentation in a child required collaboration across pediatric and adult disciplines.
