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. The applied preventive measures against the development of thrombosis during hospitalization have not substantially contributed to decreasing its frequency, what is not in accord with some recent observations from other countries.
