title: [Current etiopathogenic guides in pulmonary embolism].
abstract: Pulmonary embolism is still a dangerous postoperative complication in spite of antithrombotic prophylaxis. The paper examines the etiopathogenetic stages of the disease and stresses the relevance of Wircov's triad today, even in the light of recent acquisitions which highlight the role of endothelium as a modulator of the fibrinolytic process.
