title: [The surgical prevention of pulmonary embolism. Comments on 100 patients treated by different methods].
abstract: A series of 100 patients suffering from deep venous thrombosis with prior episodes of pulmonary embolism or ilio-caval floating thrombi, submitted to surgery for the prevention of new embolic episodes, is analysed. Indications are discussed together with the various prevention techniques adopted over the past 5 years. Special attention is paid to the analysis of 11 patients operated on in the last 2 years by thrombectomy of the infra- and suprarenal vena cava.
