AB  - Pulmonary  thromboembolic  disease  refers  to  the  condition  in  which  blood  clot(s)  (thrombus  or  multiple  thrombi)  migrate  from  the  systemic  circulation  to  the  pulmonary  vasculature  (Fig.  73-1).  The  field  of  pulmonary  thromboembolic  disease  has  continued  to  evolve,  and  aspects  of  clinical  care  remain  shrouded  in  controversy.  What  is  certain  is  that  the  incidence  of  pulmonary  embolism  (PE)  appears  to  be  increasing  over  the  past  few  decades,  probably  reflecting  an  increase  in  the  availability  and  sensitivity  of  CT  scanning.  Despite  this  increase  in  diagnosis,  the  mortality  related  to  acute  PE  continues  to  decline.
