Patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) have an increased prevalence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and conversely, are also at risk for hemorrhagic complications. This poses a unique situation when these patients present with pulmonary embolism (PE) and require thrombolytics. The use of ultrasound-guided thrombolytic therapy did not increase bleeding complications when administered to a patient with SCD with prior history of hemorrhagic stroke. This is a novel treatment for PE in patients with high-risk for bleeding complications. We believe that our findings are a significant contribution to the treatment of PE in SCD.
