title: [Massive pulmonary thromboembolism: medical or surgical treatment?].
abstract: Anticoagulant-thrombolytic therapy and surgery, remain the topics of recent advances in the treatment of pulmonary embolism.

By this experience, they suggest an indication for medical or surgical treatment for pulmonary embolism.
