Backgrounds: Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is severe complication which may arise during all medical service. The purpose of this study is to evaluate inpatient symptomatic PTE.

Materials and Methods: From 2005 to 2016, we experienced 75 symptomatic PTE patients among 600 venous thromboembolism patients. According to the place of occurrence, patients were divided to inpatient group and outpatient group. We further divided inpatient group to surgical group and non-surgical group.

Results: Inpatients group, 38 had PTE (surgical: 23, non-surgical: 15). Outpatients group, 37 had PTE (with medical practice: 22, without medical practice: 15). Severity of PTE were follows; cardiac arrest 2, massive 13, sub-massive 18, non-massive 42. In surgical group, anticoagulation had been used in 3/23 (13.6%), intermittent pneumatic compression had been used in 16/23 (72.9%), compression stockings had been used in 20/23 (90.9%). In non-surgical group, no anticoagulation had not been used, intermittent pneumatic compression had been used in 2/15 (13.3%), compression stockings had been used in 2/15 (13.3%).

Conclusion: As PTE prophylaxis, anticoagulation had been scarcely used in surgical group. Delayed anticoagulation may decrease symptomatic PTE in surgical patients. Despite adequate prophylaxis, PTE cannot be prevented completely. Medical staff and patients should recognize the risk of PTE together. (This is a translation of Jpn J Phlebol 2018; 29(1): 33–40.)
