Intra-arterial tumour embolism after pneumonectomy is a known but rare complication. It arises because of tumour involvement of pulmonary veins. Usual outcome of this complication is grave when embolism is to a major vessel. If embolism occurs in a peripheral circulation, timely intervention can avoid significant morbidity. We report a case where embolisation occurred in both the femoral arteries. Emergency embolectomy was done successfully avoiding major complication.
肺切除术后动脉内肿瘤栓塞是一种已知但罕见的并发症。它是由于肿瘤累及肺静脉引起的。当栓塞发生在大血管时，这种并发症的通常后果很严重。如果栓塞发生在外周循环中，及时干预可避免严重的发病情况。我们报告一例双侧股动脉发生栓塞的病例。成功进行了急诊栓子切除术，避免了严重并发症。
