25 yrs old female developed pulmonary embolism on 2 nd post op day after repair of incisional hernia. CT scan showed emboli at both hila .Only left lower lobe artery is spared from emboli. Duplex scan showed bilateral ilio- femoral dvt. She iss haemodynamically stable. Saturation 94% with out oxygen and 98% on 2litres oxygen. Echo showed RV dysfunction.
Should she be offered pulmonary embolectomy in view of RV dysfunction ?
