Pulmonary embolism is the most dreaded presentation of venous thromboembolic disease. Because it is managed by interdisciplinary teams, including internists, haematologists, pulmonologists, cardiologists, vascular medicine specialists, vascular surgeons, and generalists, among others, issues can often be overlooked. Furthermore, it has not been addressed in previous reports of cause-specific mortality by the Global Burden of Disease workgroup.

尽管死亡人数下降，但欧洲的肺栓塞仍然令人关注。

肺栓塞是静脉血栓栓塞性疾病最可怕的表现。因为它是由跨学科团队（包括内科医生，血液学家，肺病学家，心脏病学家，血管医学专家，血管外科医师和通才等）进行管理的，所以常常会忽略一些问题。此外，全球疾病负担工作组先前针对特定原因的死亡率的报告中并未解决这一问题。
