a Axial CT slice showing multiple repletion defects in both the pulmonary artery and bilateral lobar arteries, along with peripheral pulmonary consolidations with hypodense zones compatible with areas of hypoperfusion. b Four-chamber apical view of TTE showing the right ventricle with normal diameter and contractility after PE treatment. c Normal (a) TAPSE and (b) TASV as an expression of functionality of the normal right ventricle after PE treatment.
