A member asked:
What are the chances of a good outcome of pulmonary embolism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good: Must of the pulmonary emboli are asymptomatic just because they are very small. But when patients have symptomatic pulmonary emboli and they are treated 96% of them resolve without sequelae. It is only the 4% that do not resolve and can cause problems down the line. So chances of good outcome are on your side...
