Clinical history

A 39-year-old female with known metastatic lung cancer complicated by multiple pulmonary emboli on apixaban presented with worsening dyspnea and productive cough over one week duration. She also has evidence of RV strain demonstrated by flattening of her interventricular septum with ventricular interdependence (the latter findings are likely secondary to underlying chronic thromboembolic disease and pulmonary hypertension).
