В данных Клинических рекомендациях суммированы все современные доказательства по диагностике и лечению тромбоэмболии легочной артерии (ТЭЛА). В отличие от предыдущей версии рекомендаций, в данном документе представлены упрощенные варианты клинических прогностических шкал, подробно рассмотрена стратификация риска летального исхода, включая промежуточные степени риска, представлены новые подходы к АКТ, в т. ч. системному тромболизису и катетерным методам лечения, терапии антагонистом витамина К, определено место новых пероральных антикоагулянтов в терапии ТЭЛА.

These clinical recommendations summarized currently available evidence on diagnosis and management of patients with pulmonary embolism. When compared to previous version of recommendations, this document has introduced simplified clinical prognostic scales and a new risk stratification system including intermediate risk. Novel approach to anticoagulant therapy have been also reviewed including systemic thrombolysis, catheterdirected treatment, vitamin K antagonists and new oral anticoagulants.
