Abstract
Proximal chronic pulmonary emboli with severe pulmonary hypertension were diagnosed by electron-beam computed tomography and Doppler echocardiography. After successful embolectomy, repeat examinations showed normal pulmonary artery pressures and patency. Electron beam computed tomography can noninvasively identify surgically treatable pulmonary emboli.
