Abstract
Proximal chronic pulmonary emboli with severe pulmonary hypertension w ere diagnosed by electron-beam computed tomography and Doppler echocar diography. After successful embolectomy, repeat examinations showed no rmal pulmonary artery pressures and patency. Electron beam computed to mography can noninvasively identify surgically treatable pulmonary emb oli.
