How is pulmonary embolism treated? Cardiology Basics

Pulmonary embolism is obstruction of pulmonary arteries due to emboli migrating from other parts of the body. It is a potentially life threatening condition if a major branch or multiple branches are obstructed. More emboli can travel to the lungs from the original source and hence pulmonary embolism may worsen later even if the initial episode involves only a small portion of the lungs. So, it is important to treat pulmonary embolism even if it is mild. Treatment options will vary depending on the severity of the situation.
