Figure 1 X-ray radiography. A: The same day after a motorcycle accident; B: One day after the first operation; C: Twenty-eight days after the second operation; D: One year after the operation.

Figure 2 Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography at the onset of pulmonary embolism. A: Horizontal plane showed filling defect in the right pulmonary artery; B: Horizontal plane showed filling defect in the left and right pulmonary arteries; C: Sagittal plane showed filling defect in the right pulmonary artery and its branches; D: Sagittal plane showed filling defect in the left pulmonary artery and its branches.

Figure 3 The ninth day after pulmonary thromboembolism, computed tomographic pulmonary angiography showed that the thrombus in both sides of the pulmonary artery did not significantly reduce. A: Horizontal plane showed filling defect in the left and right pulmonary arteries; B: Horizontal plane showed filling defect in the right pulmonary artery; C: Sagittal plane showed filling defect in the right pulmonary artery and its branches; D: Sagittal plane showed filling defect in the left pulmonary artery and its branches.
