Abstract
We report a case of fatal massive pulmonary embolism in an 86-year-old woman. The embolus occurred as a result of embolic bone marrow particles from a fractured femur becoming trapped by a Chiari's network which then acted as a source for propagation of a large thrombus which detached and caused sudden death from massive pulmonary embolism. To our knowledge this is the first report of such a case.
