STAT CT-PE was done and showed bilateral large pulmonary emboli in both main pulmonary arteries extending into the upper and lower pulmonary arteries bilaterally with right ventricle appearing more prominent than the left suggesting right heart strain (Figures 2 and 3). STAT bedside echocardiogram showed severely enlarged RV with severely reduced RV systolic function and a large mobile mass in the right atrium (RA) suspected of a thrombus (Figures 4 and 5).
