Extensive acute pulmonary emboli with right heart strain

Dilation of the right ventricle, bowing of the intraventricular septum, and reflux of contrast into the IVC/hepatic veins indicate right ventricular dysfunction due to extensive bilateral pulmonary embolus.

Reporting this finding can help the treatment team by prompting more careful hemodynamic monitoring and aggressive management.
