Pulmonary embolism: inpatient and outpatient treatment

Abstract

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a rather common emergency situation. Occlusion of pulmonary arteries of different calibre may result in critical condition, shock, sudden death, while in a number of patients who survived thromboembolism it may lead to long-term complications of varying severity: post-thromboembolic chronic pulmonary hypertension, changes in respiratory biomechanics and respiratory failure, and so on. In most cases blood clots enter the pulmonary arterial tree (up to 90% of cases) from the venous system of the lower extremities, pelvis, kidney, and quite rarely from the right side of the heart and the venous system of the upper extremities [1].
