ABSTRACT

It was performed a descriptive and retrospective study of patients with pulmonary thromboembolism in the period of January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2008, at ¨Carlos Manuel de Céspedes¨ hospital in Bayamo, with the aim of identifying the clinical and epidemiological aspects of them. Descriptive statistics was used for the processing of the data. The most affected age group was 71-85 years (39 cases, 48.7%). We observed a predominance of females, 41 cases, 51.2%. In 51 patients (63.8%) the diagnosis was not suspicious when they were alive, in 56 (70.0%) of them there was not applied anticoagulant prophylaxis, and in equal number there was no clinical correlation. Only 20 patients (25.0%) had pulmonary infarction. We concluded that the disease was more frequent in patients of advanced age, male sex, with ischemic heart disease antecedents and arterial hypertension, with an average of short stay. Most of them did not suspected the diagnosis in life, so they did not have anticoagulant treatment, existing a poor clinical pathological correlation. The right lung was more affected as well as the medium-sized arterial branches and without pulmonary infarction.
