Brief introduction of pulmonary thromboembolism

PTE is a disease caused by thrombus from venous system or right heart blocking pulmonary artery or its branches, which is characterized by pulmonary circulation and respiratory dysfunction.

Thrombosis causing PTE can come from inferior vena cava, superior vena cava or right ventricular cavity, mostly from deep veins of lower limbs, especially from the upper end of popliteal vein to iliac vein (about 50% ~ 90%). Pelvic venous plexus is also an important source of thrombosis. Intubation of internal jugular vein and subclavian vein, indwelling catheter and intravenous chemotherapy increased the number of superior vena cava thrombosis. Thrombosis from the right ventricular cavity accounts for a small part.
