  Figure 1 Pulmonary thromboembolism computed tomography showing filling defects in both main pulmonary arteries (A) and the right popliteal vein (C, D) (arrows), indicating pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis. Superficial venous thrombosis with severe varicose veins in bilateral great saphenous veins and muscle perforators (B-D, arrowheads) was also noted.
