Review Description

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) usually develops in the deep veins of the extremities. Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a type of VTE that is most commonly (∼90%) caused by a thrombus that originates from the deep veins of the lower extremities. PE is the third most common cause of death after myocardial infarction and stroke. In this review, the authors investigate and discuss the risk stratification and definitions of the aforementioned categories of PE and further explore the management of acute PE along with the types of catheter-based treatment options and their efficacy.
