Acute Compartment Syndrome Post‐Thrombolysis for Acute Pulmonary Embolism—A Case Report
ABSTRACT The use of thrombolysis for acute pulmonary embolism is well established. Thrombolysis poses the risk of mostly minor bleeding; however, intracranial bleeding is the most feared complication. Less recognized is the possibility of limb‐threatening complications, such as acute compartment syn...

| description | ABSTRACT The use of thrombolysis for acute pulmonary embolism is well established. Thrombolysis poses the risk of mostly minor bleeding; however, intracranial bleeding is the most feared complication. Less recognized is the possibility of limb‐threatening complications, such as acute compartment syndrome, which need a high index of suspicion, prompt evaluation, and intervention. |
