AB  - Pulmonary  emboli  (PE),  along  with  deep  vein  thrombi  (DVT),  comprise  the  spectrum  of  diagnoses  referred  to  as  venous  thromboembolism  (VTE).  PE  are  associated  with  significant  morbidity  and  mortality:  their  prevention  and  treatment  are  important  as  they  are  one  of  the  principal  causes  of  sudden  cardiovascular  death,  third  in  line  after  strokes  and  heart  attacks.1  This  high  rate  of  mortality  makes  PE  the  most  important  short-term  complication  of  a  DVT.  Thus,  prevention  of  a  PE  is  critical,  and  DVT  treatment  guidelines  are  aimed  at  achieving  this  goal.2
