Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), is usually a complication of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Pulmonary thromboembolism develops as a result of obstruction of pulmonary artery and / or branches with pieces that ruptured from the deep vein thrombosis of the leg. Pulmonary thromboembolism and DVT is also referred as venous thromboembolism (VTE) because of two events often remain together. The true incidence is uncertain because of more than half of the patients can be lost before the diagnosis. Despite the many new developments in the last decade on the diagnosis and treatment, PTE is still one of the difficult to diagnose and fatal diseases of lungs. Classical and contemporary approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of PTE were evaluated together in this review. J Clin Exp Invest 2013; 4 (3): 443-446

Pulmoner tromboembolizm (PTE), genellikle derin ven trombozunun (DVT) bir komplikasyonudur. Bacak derin venlerinde meydana gelen trombüslerden kopan parçaların pulmoner arter ve/veya dallarını tıkaması sonucu gelişir. PTE ve DVT\'nin genellikle birlikte seyretmesi sebebiyle, iki olay birlikte venöz tromboembolizm (VTE) olarak da ifade edilir. Hastaların yarısından fazlası tanı konulmadan kaybedildiğinden gerçek insidans belirsizdir. Son dekatta tanı ve tedaviyle ilgili birçok yeni gelişmeye rağmen PTE halen akciğerin, tanısı zor ve ölümle sonuçlanabilen hastalıklardan biridir. Bu derlemede PTE tanı ve tedavisinde klasik ve güncel yaklaşımlar birlikte değerlendirildi.
