Management of massive pulmonary thromboembolism complicating diabetic ketoacidosis

Intravascular volume depletion secondary to diabetic ketoacidosis may result in thrombosis of major blood vessels. Without anticoagulation these thrombi can embolize to the lungs and compromise cardiopulmonary function. When this occurs early surgical pulmonary embolectomy is indicated to salvage a...
