Description
Summary:	The article discusses experience in the diagnosis and methods of treatment of thromboembolism of the pulmonary arteries at the Department of Surgery of the Vessels of the Scientific Research Institute of Experimental Surgery. There were 238 patients under observation. A complex of modern diagnostic methods were applied, including, besides the routine methods of examination, angiopulmonography with measurement of blood pressure in the pulmonary trunk and right heart chamber and scanning of the lungs. Thus, comparison of the modern antipulmonological and isotope examinations allow a correct intravital diagnosis of thromboembolism of the pulmonary artery to be established. Administration of thrombolytics into the focus of affection by catheterization of the pulmonary artery is the most effective method of nonoperative treatment.
