Perioperative acute pulmonary embolism represents a relatively rare complication; however, it could be very serious and devastating in some cases. Its diagnosis could be particularly challenging, especially in the intraoperative period. Herein, we emphasize some key concepts with the aim to perform an early and appropriate risk stratification, diagnostic and therapeutic approach in a multidisciplinary fashion, a brief overview on thromboprophylaxis, with the main objective to improve outcomes and survival in these challenging patients.
