Intermediate-High Risk Pulmonary Embolism: The Use of Riociguat and Inferior Vena Cava Filter in a Situation of Recurrent Embolism following Insufficient Anticoagulation and Fibrinolytic Therapy

<div>Hemodynamic parameters (MAP and pulse) and respiratory profiles (PaO2/FiO2 ratio and PaCO2) are demonstrated every hour during the 11 days in the ICU for the 49-year-old woman with massive pulmonary embolism. Green arrow indicates the time of systemic thrombolysis. Purple arrow indicates the time of IVC filter implantation. Abbreviations: MAP: middle arterial pressure, PaO2/FiO2 ratio: arterial oxygen partial pressure to fractional inspired oxygen, PaO2: partial pressure of oxygen, PaCO2: partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide, FiO2: fraction of inspired oxygen, IVC: inferior vena cava.</div>
