He underwent an open reduction and internal fixation for a fracture of the medial lateral and posterior ankle diagnosed by x-ray (Figure 1).
The patient's pulmonary visual field brightness increased, and the right ventricular margin was extremely dilated. The right ventricular lucency increased, and there was a honeycomb-like change in the right ventricle. The pulmonary artery was occupied by air, and the pulmonary artery margin was dilated, and the pulmonary artery lucency significantly increased.

During a pause in performing CPR, we decided to take a chest x-ray and found the right heart and pulmonary artery full of air; the increase in the light transmittance of the visual field in both lungs was consistent with the characteristics of a pulmonary embolism (Figure 2).
