Pulmonary embolus-in-transit represents an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the critically ill patient. Unexplained shock and acute pulmonary hypertension were evaluated with echocardiography. Standard transthoracic echocardiography failed to identify a large embolism-in-transit that was easily visualized by transesophageal imaging. A review of the literature involving embolism-in-transit suggests that early intervention in these patients may be beneficial.
