Figure 1. A: Computed tomography (CT) of the showing origin of a large filling defect of the right pulmonary artery (white arrow) extending into the superior lobar, posterior segmental, interlobar, lateral basal segmental, and posterior basal segmental arteries. Additionally seen is the origin of a smaller filling defect of the left pulmonary artery (white arrow) with extension into the apical segmental, superior lingular, inferior lingular, medial basal segmental, lateral basal segmental, and posterior basal segmental arteries. B. Chest X-ray (CXR, Posterior-Anterior view) on admission with no evidence of airspace disease or edema. C. Portable CXR post catheter directed thrombolysis with new mild bilateral airspace disease and mild pulmonary vascular congestion. D. CT Chest at baseline (pre-catheter directed thrombolysis). E. CT of the base of lungs post thrombolysis revealing bibasilar atelectasis, areas of consolidation in both posterior bases and a small left pleural effusion. F. Sagittal view of the left lower lobe with a wedge shaped consolidation. G. Sagittal view of the right lower lobe with a wedge shaped consolidation
