2 Figure 1 Ventilation (technetium Tc 99m-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid aerosol)/perfusion (technetium 99m-macro-aggregated albumin) scan on admission. Anterior ventilation scan (top) is normal, and perfusion scan (bottom) shows almost absent perfusion to the right lung.

3 Figure 2 Anterior perfusion scan 2 days following catheter thrombectomy shows improved right lung perfusion. Small subsegmental perfusion defects may have resulted from distal embolization of the right main pulmonary artery thrombus.
