ABSTRACT
The increase in pulmonary vascular resistences in acute pulmonary thromboembolism (APT) is the consequence of anatomical obstruction and pulmonary artery constriction. The administration of inhaled nitric oxide (NO) may be therapeutically useful in acute pulmonary hypertension by APT given its limited vasodilator effect on pulmonary circulation. A patient with APT in whom this selective vasodilator effect was observed is presented. The authors suggest that the administration of inhaled NO may be a potentially beneficial coadjuvant therapy in acute pulmonary hypertension induced by APT.
