    Abstract:
    In the study an analysis of 13216 autopsy materials was performed to evaluate a frequency of pulmonary thromboembolism incidence including localisation of detected changes. Pulmonary thromboembolism was determined in 5.5% autopsies, with evident increase in older subjects (up to 31.3% in 70-79 years old group). The most frequently (67.8%) pulmonary thromboembolism was observed in lobar and segmental arteries in a course of atherosclerosis (28.6%), neoplasmas (20.8%) and septic diseases (15.5%). In 25% cases of pulmonary thromboembolism has been diagnosed during clinical observations and has been confirmed by autopsy procedure.
