  • Title: [Therapy of pulmonary embolism].
    Author: Matthias FR, Schöndorf TH.
    Journal: Folia Haematol Int Mag Klin Morphol Blutforsch; 1986; 113(1-2):38-46. PubMed ID: 2427413.
    Abstract:
    The therapeutic regimen in acute pulmonary embolism of different severity is discussed. Heparin is indicated in patients with only small and submassive embolism without impairment of the circulation. Fibrinolysis is the therapy of choice in submassive pulmonary embolism with circulatory insufficiency and massive embolism. In fulminant embolism with circulatory shock or cardiac arrest embolectomy should be performed. If the course of lung embolism is subacute, fibrinolysis may improve the late prognosis in respect to chronic pulmonary hypertension.
