AbstractThromboembolic events should be strongly suspected in cases where medical events occur after prolonged air travel. Pulmonary embolism should be suspected in patients with sudden cardiac arrest. Consequently, patients should be managed according to this eventuality. We report a case of sudden cardiac arrest after air travel in which the patient survived after fibrinolysis was prescribed on a presumptive basis.
