Pulmonary embolism (PE) has highly variable clinical presentation, ranging from completely asymptomatic patients, in which the diagnosis is made incidentally, to situations where massive emboli lead the patient quickly to death. Its diagnosis is difficult and depends on analysis of pre-test probability for optimum accuracy of diagnostic procedures. The hallmark of treatment is anticoagulation, but the chemical thrombolysis should be considered in cases of hemodynamic instability.
