Can a pulmonary embolism be completely cured?

Whether pulmonary embolism can be completely cured depends on the severity of the patient’s condition, and the earlier the pulmonary embolism is detected, the greater the possibility of cure.
1. Mild pulmonary embolism only blocks a small amount of the patient’s terminal pulmonary vessels, the patient goes to the hospital for early diagnosis, after active treatment, such as the use of low molecular heparin or warfarin as prescribed by the doctor, the thrombus can be slowly dissolved, and then the patient will be cured.
2. For moderate pulmonary embolism, patients are sent to the hospital immediately, after a period of hospitalization, and continue to take anticoagulant drugs as prescribed by the doctor after discharge, most of the patients can be slowly cured.
3. Severe pulmonary embolism, such as acute massive pulmonary embolism, even if the patient is immediately sent to the hospital, after a detailed diagnosis, follow the doctor’s instructions to use thrombolytic drugs, such as streptokinase, recombinant tissue fibrinolytic plasminogen activator, etc., the patient’s mortality rate is very large.
