A 39-years-old male patient with chronic venous insufficiency, deep venous thrombosis and recurrent pulmonary embolism in the past medical history. After syncopal event was diagnosed of bilateral chronic pulmonary embolism, pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular failure. Fibrinolytic treatment was no effective therapeutic modality.

We present our experience with this case and a review of the literature.
