Pulmonary embolism is mostly lower limb deep vein thrombus shedding, along the blood vessels flow to the lung, blocked the pulmonary blood vessels caused.

Doctors may ask patients to have X-ray chest films, electrocardiogram, pulmonary artery enhanced CT, cardiac color Doppler ultrasound and other examinations to help diagnose.

How to prevent venous thrombosis of lower limbs?

Early prevention of pulmonary embolism is crucial. Thrombosis can come from any vein in the whole body, but most of them still come from the deep vein of lower limbs, so it is necessary to actively prevent the formation of deep vein thrombosis.
