Surgical intervention may be more effective than thrombolytic or anticoagulation therapy for treating pulmonary thromboembolism in elderly patients.
We compared the efficiency of treatment of 99 patientswith pulmonary thromboembolism using thrombolytic agents, surgical intervention, and anticoagulation therapy with heparin and vitamins K. The surgical treatment proved more efficient than the two other options.
