As the elderly population increases, occurrence of hip fractures has shown a rapid increase, and posttraumatic and postoperative venous thromboembolism can lead to fatal complications. Current prophylactic management includes mechanical and chemical prophylaxis. A 76-year-oldfemale, who was lost to follow-up after diagnosis of pulmonary thromboembolism four years ago, was admitted to our emergency room for a right intertrochanteric fracture. Before the operation, the thromboembolism recurred and was treated with anticoagulation medication. Bipolar hemiarthroplasty and fixation of the greater trochanter with a hook plate were performed 18 days after the trauma. Superficial femoral artery obstruction and venous thromboembolism occurred on the first day after the operation.

Despite important advances in the diagnosis and treatment of acute pulmonary embolism (APE), assessment of risk and appropriate management of patients remains a difficult task in clinical practice. In addition to hemodynamic instability and critically clinical condition, acute right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) is a major determinant of in-hospital outcomes. The purpose of this review is to discuss the results of these recent developments. Some outcome evaluation, clinical assessment, and therapeutic implications are also included.

Acute myocardial infarction due to coronary occlusion by emboli originating from the prosthetic valve thrombosis is very rare but fatal disease which needs immediate diagnosis and urgent treatment. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction after left anterior descending embolic occlusion in whom had previous mitral valve replacement. Redo valve replacement following the interventional catheterization and antiplatelet therapy lead to successful results.

We report a modified technique for pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) on a 67-year-old man with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) who presented with dyspnea. He was referred to our medical center for coronary artery bypass grafting. CTEPH had not been detected in his first visit to another medical center, but upon re-evaluation, the diagnosis was confirmed. PEA was performed with a modified method, which seems to be safe and suitable for the removal of clot and fibrotic materials. Iatrogenic dissection was performed with normal saline injection in the pulmonary artery, and then, the clot was removed completely. Although the technique may not be applicable for all cases, it can be used as an alternative to using an aspirating dissector and a pair of forceps.
