Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a clinical pathophysiological syndrome characterized by pulmonary circulation disorder caused by the obstruction of pulmonary artery or pulmonary artery branch by blood clots,fat,air,amniotic fluid and other emboli.With the deepening of understanding of such diseases,it is found that PE has become the third "human killer" after coronary heart disease and hypertension.At present,through literature summary,it is found that the main treatment of PE is anticoagulation,thrombolysis,interventional surgery and other western medicine treatment,but the above treatment has adverse reactions such as bleeding and recurrence.With the in-depth understanding of traditional Chinese medicine,a large number of literatures show that oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine combined with western medicine treatment can significantly improve the treatment effect of PE patients.This paper summarized the literature in recent years and discussed the progress of diagnosis and treatment of PE in Chinese and western medicine.
