Pulmonary thromboembolism

Abstract

Pulmonary Thromboembolism is the clinical entity due to the obstruction of pulmonary vessels by venous thrombi, leading to nonspecific clinical manifestations, making it difficult to early diagnosis. Predisposition results from genetic and acquired factors contributing to the venous thromboembolism. When the diagnosis of Pulmonary Thromboembolism (PT) is confirmed and effective therapy is instituted, the recurrence of embolism is rare and death is usually uncommon, with mortality rate around 20-30%.
