Abstract
PULMONARY EMBOLISM is regarded as an uncommon cause of death when clinically recognized and appropriately treated.1-6 Indeed, in the absence of recurrent embolism, death usually is attributed to comorbid disease rather than to the pulmonary embolism itself. Consequently, prevailing medical care with either standard anticoagulation therapy or an inferior vena cava filter primarily provides prophylaxis against recurrent pulmonary embolism from the presumed source, deep vein thrombosis of the leg or pelvis.3,5,7This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
