title: [Lethality in postoperative thromboembolism of the pulmonary artery and methods of its therapy].
abstract: Of the 350 patients who died in 1978-1988 from pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) in 3 clinics of Ivano-Frankovsk, the surgical patients accounted for 36% (51.6% of them--at the age of 60 years and older). The likelihood of the PTE development is the highest during the first week after the operation performed, as a rule, for a malignant tumour of the alimentary organs, vascular diseases, and after prostatectomy.
