Acute pulmonary embolism is still marked with a relatively high mortality burden. In the era of modern medicine, several approaches have been developed. Surgical treatment, in the light of current guidelines, is reserved for the highest-risk patients with hemodynamic instability. Surgical procedures and results along with the use of mechanical circulatory support results have been discussed in this text.

Keywords: plicní embolie, chirurgická léčba, mechanické srdeční podpory.
