[Is low-dose anticoagulation a therapeutic option for patients at high risk of bleeding with high-risk pulmonary thromboembolism].

This issue of Chinese Journal of Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases published an interesting case illustrating the identification, treatment, and post-treatment management of a high-risk pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) that occurred during surgery. It was a high-risk case of PTE, but during treatment, the risk stratification changed to medium-high risk. We should dynamically assess risk stratification and develop diagnosis and treatment plans based on changes in the patient's condition. At the same time, there was a high risk of bleeding in this patient. We should try to decrease the risk of bleeding as much as possible, consider all the conditions that can be applied at that time and on a local level, and devise a safe and effective treatment plan. The socio-economic status of patients may have an impact on how the final diagnosis and treatment plan are implemented. We need to communicate fully with patients, consider comprehensively, and prepare contingency plans to ensure patients' life safety to the greatest extent possible.
