Fig. 10. 43-year-old woman presented with dyspnoea and dizziness. She had undergone liposuction at trunk and both thighs 2 days previously.

A. On parasternal short axis view of emergency portable echocardiography, mild pulmonary hypertension (D shape of left ventricle [LV], estimated right ventricular [RV] systolic pressure = 45 mm Hg) was suspected. B. On contrast-enhanced axial CT image, filling defects are seen in both pulmonary arteries (arrows), suggesting pulmonary embolism. She underwent thrombolytic therapy using heparin and tissue plasminogen activator. C. On follow-up chest CT 6 months later, pulmonary embolism was found to have completely resolved.
