This is a serious blood vessel blockage that requires urgent medical attention. the term &#8220;embolus&#8221; refers to a substance that travels through the bloodstream and blocks a blood vessel; in pulmonary embolism, this substance is most often a blood clot. This blockage makes it difficult for the heart to pump and can prevent the body from getting enough oxygen, which can suddenly endanger vital functions.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Types<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Massive Pulmonary Embolism, Sub-Massive Embolism, Non-Massive (small) Embolism<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Causes<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), clot formation after prolonged immobility, trauma, surgery<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Risk Factors<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prolonged bed rest, cancer, birth control pills, obesity, pregnancy, genetic factors<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, rapid breathing, palpitations, fainting, bruising<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diagnostic Methods<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CT pulmonary angiography, D-dimer test, lung scintigraphy, echocardiography, Doppler USG<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment Options<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anticoagulant drugs (heparin, warfarin, DOACs), thrombolytic therapy, surgical embolectomy, filter placement (IVC)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Complications<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, recurrent embolism, sudden death<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protective Measures<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prevention of prolonged immobilization, use of compression stockings, low dose anticoagulant prophylaxis<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_231395059\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-507170391\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-424622185\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\" style=\"background-color:#02288a;\" >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1343967345\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-750167923\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover border-gorsel x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1322482649\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/dryavuzbesogul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/yavuz-besogul-banner.jpg\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dryavuzbesogul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/yavuz-besogul-banner.jpg 700w, https:\/\/dryavuzbesogul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/yavuz-besogul-banner-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/dryavuzbesogul.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/yavuz-besogul-banner-280x280.jpg 280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1322482649 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-750167923 > .col-inner {\n  border-radius: 20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-546294928\" class=\"col medium-8 small-12 large-8\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner dark\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n\r\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 150%;\">Prof. Dr. Yavuz Be\u015fo\u011ful<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>>Turkey\u2019s Cardiovascular Surgery Doctor<\/p>\r\n<div>\r\n<div>Professor Doctor Yavuz Be\u015fo\u011ful is one of the first doctors to perform heart surgeries with minimally invasive methods in cardiovascular surgery since 1997.

Usually when there is a slowing of blood flow, an increase in the tendency of blood to clot or damage to the vessel wall, there is a &#8220;perfect storm&#8221; for clot formation. Certain conditions and habits that can cause your body to work like a clot factory can significantly increase the risk of pulmonary embolism. Knowing these risk factors makes you more alert and prepared for a potential danger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main conditions that predispose to clot formation are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prolonged inactivity<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Major surgeries (especially hip and knee replacement)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cancer disease and treatments<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pregnancy and the first six weeks after delivery<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inherited (genetic) coagulation disorders<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heart failure<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obesity (being overweight)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cigarette smoking<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Advanced age (60 years and older)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Estrogen-containing hormone therapies<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">History of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Serious injuries and trauma<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you look at this list, you can see that many factors play a role, which can occur at different stages of life and under different conditions. For example, being immobile for hours during a long airplane ride slows down blood flow in the leg veins, creating an ideal environment for clots. Similarly, a patient undergoing major surgery is at increased risk, both from the surgery itself and from bed rest afterward. Cancer can trigger the clotting system both by the disease itself and by treatments such as chemotherapy. Sometimes a pulmonary embolism of unknown cause can even be the first harbinger of a cancer hidden in the body. It is therefore particularly important to investigate such underlying risk factors in people who suffer from clots for no apparent reason.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Which Symptoms Should Suggest Pulmonary Embolism?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The symptoms of pulmonary embolism can vary greatly from person to person, depending on the size of the clot and the importance of the location in the lung that it blocks. Sometimes a very small clot can be dissolved by the body without any symptoms, while sometimes a large clot can be life-threatening within seconds. Recognizing these symptoms is vital for early intervention. You should be alert to these &#8220;emergency&#8221; signals your body sends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most common symptoms that strongly suggest the possibility of pulmonary embolism are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sudden onset and unexplained shortness of breath<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stabbing sharp chest pain when breathing deeply, coughing or bending over<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coughing up blood or pink foamy sputum<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Very fast or irregular heartbeat (palpitations)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fainting, feeling lightheaded or severe dizziness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An intense anxiety or fear of death that arises for no reason<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cold and damp sweating<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pallor or bruising of the skin (cyanosis)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that pulmonary embolism is usually a consequence and the main event starts in the legs. Therefore, in addition to the above lung symptoms, the following symptoms may also be seen in the legs, which are the source of the clot:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swelling that usually occurs in one leg<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pain, cramping or tenderness in the calf or thigh<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A different redness or discoloration of the skin in the affected area than usual<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A significant increase in temperature in the affected leg compared to the other<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you experience any of these symptoms, especially sudden onset of shortness of breath, chest pain and fainting, you should never take it lightly. thinking &#8220;it will pass if I rest a little&#8221; may mean wasting time, which is the most valuable thing to lose. It is critically important that you seek medical attention immediately by calling 112 or contacting the emergency department of the nearest hospital.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Which methods are used to diagnose pulmonary embolism?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you go to the emergency room with a suspected pulmonary embolism, doctors start working like a detective. The aim is to establish once and for all whether it is indeed a clot that is causing your symptoms. Because there are many other conditions that can cause similar symptoms, such as heart attack, pneumonia and panic attacks. To reach the correct diagnosis, the patient&#8217;s history, risk factors and physical examination findings are brought together and the pieces of this puzzle are put together with various tests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are main tests and imaging methods we use in the diagnostic process:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">D-dimer blood test<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leg vein ultrasound (Doppler USG)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ventilation\/Perfusion (V\/Q) scintigraphy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chest radiography (X-ray)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Electrocardiogram (ECG)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Echocardiography (ECHO)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The gold standard among these tests today is CT Pulmonary Angiography (BTPA). During this test, a special dye (contrast medium) is injected into a vein in your arm. As soon as it reaches your pulmonary arteries through your bloodstream, a quick computed tomography scan is performed. The result is a detailed three-dimensional map of your pulmonary arteries. This map allows the doctor to see clearly whether there is a clot inside the arteries and, if so, where and how big it is. Simpler tests such as chest X-rays and ECGs usually do not show the clot directly, but are used to rule out other heart and lung diseases that may cause similar symptoms. An ultrasound of the leg can significantly help the diagnosis by detecting DVT, which is the source of the problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Which Drugs are Used in Pulmonary Embolism Treatment?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism is confirmed, the goal of treatment is clear. To stop the existing clot from growing larger and further obstructing blood flow, to prevent new clots forming elsewhere in the body and to allow the body&#8217;s own mechanisms to dissolve the clot over time. The drugs used for this purpose form the backbone of treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The blood thinners (anticoagulants) that form the basis of treatment are divided into different groups:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Injectable heparins (in needle form)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low molecular weight heparins (DMAH)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Warfarin (known by trade names such as Coumadin\u2122)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New generation oral anticoagulants (NNOAs)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment usually starts in the hospital with a fast-acting blood thinner, such as heparin, which is administered by injection. This initial intervention aims to stop the clot from growing immediately. Afterwards, oral medication in pill form is used for long-term treatment. Warfarin is an effective drug that has been used for many years, but it has challenges such as adjusting the dose with regular blood tests (INR monitoring) and interactions with certain foods. New generation drugs (NNTs) are usually used in fixed doses, do not require routine blood monitoring and have fewer food interactions. For this reason, they are preferred more often today. The length of treatment (usually at least 3-6 months, sometimes for life) is determined by your doctor depending on the cause of the clot and your risk of recurrence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thrombolytic drugs, which are much more powerful and actively dissolve the clot, are only used in specific, life-threatening situations:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Persistent and severe low blood pressure (hypotension)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shock picture of circulatory system collapse<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Echocardiographic evidence of severe insufficiency on the right side of the heart<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These drugs break up the clot like dynamite, but they also carry the risk of serious bleeding elsewhere in the body. Their use therefore requires a very careful risk-benefit assessment and is only administered under intensive care conditions by an experienced team.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What are Advanced Pulmonary Embolism Treatments?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some patients, the situation is more complicated. The clot is so large that it can cause the heart to fail, or there is a critical situation where clot-dissolving drugs cannot be used because of the risk of bleeding. At such moments, advanced methods that go beyond standard drug therapies and aim to directly intervene in the clot come into play. These methods are sensitive interventions that fall within the specialty of a Cardiovascular Surgeon, combining technology and experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These interventional and surgical treatments are considered especially in cases of &#8220;submassive&#8221; and &#8220;massive&#8221; embolism, where the clot burden is high and the patient&#8217;s hemodynamic status (blood pressure, circulation) is impaired or at risk of impairment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Catheter-directed therapies: This is a minimally invasive procedure similar to angiography. A thin catheter is inserted through a vein in the groin or neck and, under X-ray guidance, reaches the heart of the clot in the lung. The interventions that can be done in this method are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Giving a very low dose of clot dissolving medication directly on the clot<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breaking up the clot with sound waves using a catheter that emits special ultrasound waves<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physically breaking up the clot with a rotating mechanical device<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suctioning out the clot with a kind of vacuum system<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The aim of these methods is to quickly restore blood flow without the need for open surgery, with less risk.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surgical Embolectomy: This is an open-heart surgery that is reserved for the largest and most dangerous clots. In this procedure, the surgeon opens the chest, connects the patient to a heart-lung machine and temporarily stops the heart. In this bloodless and immobilized environment, the surgeon opens the pulmonary artery and visually and meticulously removes the clot. Surgical embolectomy becomes a life-saving option when<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cases of massive embolism in which clot dissolving therapy is inadvisable due to the high risk of bleeding<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Failure of the applied clot dissolving treatment<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The presence of the clot inside the right chambers of the heart in addition to the pulmonary vessels<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although this surgery is a major intervention, when performed at the right time and by an experienced surgical team, it has the highest potential to rapidly heal the patient and prevent permanent damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Which Complications May Develop After Pulmonary Embolism?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even in patients who successfully survive an episode of acute pulmonary embolism, the story does not always have a happy ending. In some cases, the event can lead to long-term and serious consequences. Therefore, follow-up after treatment is very important. Despite early and correct treatment, there are serious complications that can occur in some patients:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right heart failure (cor pulmonale)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Permanent damage to lung tissue (pulmonary infarction)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recurrent pulmonary embolisms<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Post-thrombotic syndrome (after DVT in the legs)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most insidious and serious of these complications is CTEPH. In this condition, the clots in the lung vessels do not dissolve despite treatment. Over time, these old clots adhere to the vessel wall and form a hard, scar tissue-like layer. This layer permanently narrows and blocks the blood vessels. As a result, the blood pressure in the lungs becomes chronically high (pulmonary hypertension). This means that the right side of the heart has to constantly pump blood against a high pressure. Over time, this overload causes the right heart to fatigue, enlarge and eventually fail (right heart failure). If your shortness of breath on exertion persists or increases months after treatment, CTEPH should be suspected. The diagnosis and surgical treatment of CTEPH, especially the special surgical treatment called &#8220;Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy (PTE)&#8221;, is performed under the management of Cardiovascular Surgery Specialists specialized in this field.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What can be done to prevent recurrence of pulmonary embolism?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have had a pulmonary embolism, one of the biggest goals is to never have this experience again. This is a process that requires more than just taking medication, it is a process in which you need to take an active role. Some lifestyle changes and precautions can significantly reduce the risk of clots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are some important steps you can take to reduce the risk of clots and live a healthier life:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking the prescribed blood thinners regularly and without interruption<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staying as active as possible during the day, taking regular walks<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting up and walking around every hour on long car or plane rides<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Doing exercises that work the ankles and legs while sitting<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintaining ideal weight by eating a healthy and balanced diet<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are a smoker, quit smoking once and for all<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drink plenty of water during the day to keep the body hydrated<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping the follow-up and control appointments recommended by your doctor<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These steps are golden rules to protect not only the clot, but also your overall cardiovascular health. Pulmonary embolism is undoubtedly a serious and potentially life-threatening condition. However, it is also a preventable and treatable disease. Listening to your body&#8217;s signals, being proactive by knowing your risk factors and seeking specialized medical help without hesitation in suspicious situations are your most powerful weapons in this fight. In this process, a trusting partnership between patient, physician and healthcare team is key to achieving the best outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After Pulmonary Embolism Surgery<\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Type of Surgery<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open surgical pulmonary embolectomy or endovascular intervention (catheter-assisted embolus removal).<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recovery Time<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Average 4-8 weeks; depends on the general condition of the patient, the size of the embolus and the method of surgery.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical Activity<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Light mobilization is recommended from the first days; immobility increases the risk of new emboli.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medication Use<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long-term anticoagulant therapy (warfarin, DOACs, etc.) is required after surgery.

The risk increases if a large clot blocks the main arteries or if treatment is delayed.
