Abstract
Highlights. The article presents current literature data on the results of surgical treatment of acute pulmonary embolism.Abstract. The review article throws light on up to date approaches to the treatment of acute pulmonary embolism. The great variety of treatment methods and controversial results do not allow us to conclusively decide on which method to choose. Traditionally, pharmacological therapies have been favored over invasive methods because of the lower mortality rate. However, based on new studies, it can be established that interventional embolectomy is an effective option, showing good immediate and long-term results. Undoubtedly, additional studies are needed in order that surgical embolectomy developed from a rescue therapy of acute pulmonary embolism into a first-line or priority treatment.
