The patient did not have the risk factor of PE like obesity or after surgery which causes hypercoagulability. Meanwhile when the hypotension and bradycardia occurred, the surgeon was separating the brain tissue, and the TEE did not find any direct and indirect evidences of potential pulmonary thromboses.
