Abstract

Introduction: In recent years, with the increase in the elderly population, disease frequency has increased and the quality of life has decreased. The incidence of pulmonary embolism and the mortality rates are higher in the elderly population than the younger population. Thus, we aimed to demonstrate the follow up results of elderly patients with pulmonary embolism.
