Abstract:
Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common disorder with significant morbidity and mortality in patients who underwent pulmonary ground-glass nodules (GGN) resection. We should make efforts to increase surgeons' awareness of risk factors of PE and their understanding of the effectiveness of prevention strategies. Using the optimal risk assessment model to identify high-risk patients and give them the individualized prophylaxis. Early diagnosis and accurate risk stratification is mandatory to reduce the rates of PE, to decrease health care costs and shorten the length of stay. This article summarizes the risk factors, diagnostic process, risk assessment models, prophylaxis and therapy for the PE patients who underwent GGN resection.
