Abstract

Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is serious and sometimes life-threatening condition which may happen in any medical specialty. It is difficult to diagnose and easily can be missed which may lead to fatal outcome. In this review, the main diagnostic methods to detect PTE are considered, with a stress on early screening and diagnosis of the suspected patients. The principal therapeutic algorithms for management of confirmed PTE are revealed depending on the form and severity of the clinical presentation. The basic preventive measures are pointed out to avert this serious disease.
