Pulmonary thromboembolism

Pulmonary thromboembolism is a life-threatening form of venous thromboembolism characterized by the occlusion of one or more pulmonary arterial branches by a thrombus, which most frequently originates from the deep veins of the lower extremities or pelvis Affected individuals may present with a spectrum of manifestations ranging from mild dyspnea, tachypnea, and pleuritic chest pain to severe hypoxemia, hemoptysis, syncope, and hemodynamic instability

Pulmonary thromboembolism is a life-threatening form of venous thromboembolism characterized by the occlusion of one or more pulmonary arterial branches by a thrombus, which most frequently originates from the deep veins of the lower extremities or pelvis This mechanical obstruction abruptly increases pulmonary vascular resistance and right ventricular afterload, impairing gas exchange and potentially progressing to acute right ventricular strain or failure
