Massive pulmonary embolism continues to be a major cause of death in spite of improved medical therapy. Only a small number of patients with pulmonary embolism refractory to medical treatment are referred for pulmonary embolectomy. A literature review of patients with massive pulmonary embolism treated by pulmonary embolectomy showed that the operation was highly successful in those who were unlikely to survive with other modes of therapy. Specific indications and management are outlined on the basis of these cumulative data.
尽管医学治疗有所改进，但大面积肺栓塞仍然是主要的死亡原因。只有少数药物治疗无效的肺栓塞患者会接受肺栓子切除术。一项关于接受肺栓子切除术治疗的大面积肺栓塞患者的文献综述表明，对于那些无法通过其他治疗方式存活的患者，该手术非常成功。基于这些累积数据概述了具体的适应症和治疗方法。
