Abstract:
Case 1: A woman in her 70s was carried into emergency department of our hospital. Apparently she had dyspnea. Acute pulmonary heart was suspected. Electrocardiography S I Q III T III-pattern. The patient was diagnosed with popliteal vein vascular aneurysm by ultrasonography. Case 2: A man in his 60s, was referred to our hospital for treatment of lower extremity swelling and pain. Like Case 1, the male patient was suspected of having deep vein thrombosis and femoral artery aneurysms by ultrasound inspection and also diagnosed with pulmonary thromboembolism based on CT findings. We were able to rescue these two patients by rapid medical cooperation. Ultrasonography was particularly useful for diagnosis and morphological evaluation of blood vessels.
