Abstract
A case of a 19-year-old woman whose pregnancy was complicated by hemodynamically significant pulmonary thromboemboli is reported. The diagnosis was confirmed by radionuclide ventilation-perfusion lung scanning, and urokinase thrombolytic therapy resulted in a good therapeutic response with minimal adverse effects.Keywords
