Pulmonary Thromboembolism

Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is a serious medical condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in one of the arteries of the lungs, blocking blood flow and causing difficulty in breathing, chest pain, and even death. The risk factors for PTE include a history of blood clots, prolonged immobility, surgery, and certain medical conditions. The treatment of PTE involves the use of blood-thinning medication, oxygen therapy, and in severe cases, surgical intervention.
