title: [Is Trendelenburg's procedure still useful in 1990? Apropos of 3 cases of massive pulmonary embolism surgically treated successfully in a general surgery department].
abstract: The authors report about 3 cases of massive pulmonary embolism operated successfully in a context of general surgery. As they discuss the data given by the literature, they establish the remaining indications of Trendelenburg's procedure, as well as the problems encountered today to perform it without the help of extracorporeal circulation.
