Inhaled Nitric Oxide as an Adjunct to Thrombolytic Therapy in a Patient with Submassive Pulmonary Embolism and Severe Hypoxemia

(a) Right ventricular size and function assessment was done with RV focused imaging from apical four chamber view. Initial measurement showed 5.03 cm RV basal diameter consistent with moderately dilated RV size. 2D images also showed reduced RV ejection fraction along with RV strain findings. (b) Right ventricular size and function assessment was done with RV focused imaging from apical four chamber view. RV basal diameter is measured as 4.44 cm which was consistent with mildly dilated RV size. RV ejection fraction is improved, and RV strain findings were no longer available.
