The authors carried out a retrospective analysis of the causes of fatal and nonfatal pulmonary artery thromboembolisms (PATE) based on the materials of 204 post-mortem examinations of the patients having died at the Republican Scientific Centre for Emergency Medical Care. Of these, PATE as the underlying cause of death was registered in 151 (74.0%) cases, and the remaining 53 (26.0%) patients were found to have had lesions of the pulmonary artery branches on the background of another concomitant fatal pathology. In-life diagnosis of PATE had been made in 42.6% of cases only. Damage to the inferior vena cava (JVC) was recorded in the case history only in 19.9% of those having died of PATE, while of the patients with nonfatal forms of thromb о embolism, having died of other causes, lesions of the venous system had been registered by the attending physicians only in 11.3% of cases. The authors made a conclusion on the importance of improving the organizational, therapeutic and diagnostic measures aimed at prevention and early detection of embolus-threatening phlebothrombosis, as well as implementing more radical and safer methods of preventing PATE.
KEY WORDS: PATE, fatal and nonfatal PATE, risk group, diagnosis of phlebothrombosis, prevention, anticoagulant therapy.
