AB  - A  52-year-old  woman  developed  acute  shortness  of  breath  3  weeks  after  a  hysterectomy.  She  denied  leg  pain  or  swelling.  She  has  no  chronic  medical  problems  and  takes  no  medications.  Her  pulse  is  105  beats/min,  respiratory  rate  is  20  breaths/min,  and  the  rest  of  her  examination  is  unremarkable.  She  had  an  elevated  hemidiaphragm  on  chest  X-ray  (CXR).  These  findings  placed  her  at  moderate  risk  for  pulmonary  embolism  (PE)  based  on  the  Geneva  score.  Chest  CT  demonstrated  a  moderate-sized  PE  similar  to  the  one  shown  in  Figure  57-1.  She  was  treated  with  anticoagulation  without  complications.
