Fat embolism syndrome: A severe case diagnosed early using dual‐energy CT and saved with VA‐ECMO and inhaled nitric oxide

Abstract

Key Clinical Message Diagnosing FES is difficult and time‐consuming, and identify FES as an etiology of right ventricular volume overload for early diagnosis. Because FES is a reversible condition, even severe cases can be treated if the patient survives the acute phase.
