title: [Epidemiology of pulmonary thromboembolism as evidenced by autopsies].
abstract: Among different forms of cardiovascular pathology, there has been recently an increase in the incidence of thromboembolic complications in the pulmonary arterial system. In epidemiology, there are certain problems associated with the scarcity of specific symptoms and diagnostic methods, the insidiousness of deep vein thrombosis and fatal manifestations of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). The prevalence of fatal embolism has been more accurately studied when PTE is a major or promoting cause of death.
