Abstract
A thrombus usually originates in the lower limbs of 90-95% of all cases. It rarely originates in the veins of the pelvis, kidney or upper extremities, or in the chambers of the right heart. Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a condition that is associated with high mortality and morbidity. It is estimated that more than 100,000 cases of PE occur annually.
