A member asked:

I read anticoagulants do not help dissolve already formed pulmonary embolism. then, how long does it take for the body to naturally get rid of it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Varies from weeks=: months- years and sometimes never. Most are absorsorbed over time by the body's immune system-no guanantees. I suggest periodic scanning to determine location and size.
