Chronic complications of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) are yet being investigated. We present a case of a patient with a bulla in the right lung as a SARS-CoV2 complication prompting segmentectomy. After surgery, and despite thromboprophylaxis, patient developed acute massive pulmonary embolism documented by point of care ultrasound. Our case highlights that in these patients, early diagnosis and treatment by percutaneous interventionism can alleviate volume and pressure overload and help in an overall improvement in right ventricular function.
