[Pulmonary thromboembolism over a 25-year period in data from the Institute of Pathology of the P.J. Safarik Medical School in Kosice].

Based on a review of archival autopsy protocols an analysis of the frequency of pulmonary thrombembolism in consecutive autopsy material is presented. The study interval for the analysis was oriented to the period between the years 1949-2000. Our analysis has shown a gradual progression of incidence of pulmonary thrombembolism, as demonstrated in relative figures.
