Submassive Pulmonary Embolism Treated With Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis in Resource-Limited Setting: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

We describe a case of a young male who presented with acute onset progressively worsening shortness of breath for four days duration. He used to smoke cigarettes, and his profession required prolonged periods of standing. He underwent a two-dimensional echocardiogram showing right ventricular (RV) strain and computed tomography (CT) showing thrombus in the left major pulmonary artery.
