Acute pulmonary embolism is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Patients in life-threatening conditions require timely and effective interventions to improve pulmonary perfusion. The indications for surgical embolectomy in the thrombolysis era have been limited. This article discusses surgical techniques and outlines the position of surgical embolectomy concerning other treatment modalities.
