We report a patient with an evidence of bilateral calf deep vein thrombosis, hemodynamically significant pulmonary embolism, and echocardiographic evidence of right heart thromboemboli with "popcorn" appearance. She responded well to thrombolytics and low molecular weight heparin with resolution of symptoms and improvement of echocardiographic abnormalities.

Its function is unknown, but it is used to prevent blood clotting in vivo and vitro, in the form of many different salts.
