Despite recent significant advances thromboembolic complications remain a great problem as the main cause of death and disability of patients in the Russian Federation. Deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs is the main cause of pulmonary embolism with asymptomatic to fatal clinical course. A particular problem is recurrent nonmassive pulmonary embolism. At the same time more than half of venous thrombotic episodes are asymptomatic and diagnosed later, when complications, such as pulmonary embolism or chronic venous insufficiency, develop. Commonly, the first diagnosis of these complications is made on autopsy. A clinical observation of successful intensive care for a patient with recurrent nonmassive pulmonary embolism is described in this article.
