Abstract
Although the patient died twenty-seven days postoperatively from what was apparently
pulmonary infarction, we feel that the case is of sufficient interest to be reported
because it does prove again that patients with severe cardiac conditions can he subjected
to major surgical procedures without immediate mortality.
Autopsy would have made the case complete, and we regret that we are not able to give
such a report. However, in summary, (1) a case of riding embolus at the bifurcation
of the aorta is reported; (2) the patient withstood three major surgical procedures
in spite of the fact that she had a severe cardiac condition; and (3) technique of
embolectomy has been illustrated.
