Implication

Should not change PE management; hypothesis-generating for etiology-specific approaches in pulmonary artery thrombosis.

Structured PICO

P
Population
23 cases of massive thrombotic occlusion of the large pulmonary arteries
O
Outcome
Etiology, pathologic criteria, symptoms, signs, and results of special investigations

This case series highlights that while pulmonary embolism is the major cause of massive thrombotic occlusion of large pulmonary arteries, a significant proportion (30%) may be due to primary thrombosis in situ.
