肺栓塞[1]pulmonary embolism,PE)是體循環的各種栓子(內源性或外源性栓子)阻塞肺動脈或其分支,從而引起肺循環呼吸功能障礙的一組疾病或臨床症候群肺血栓栓塞[2][3](pulmonary thromboembolism,PTE)為最常見的肺栓塞,其為來自靜脈系統或右心的血栓阻塞肺動脈或其分支所致的疾病,全名肺動脈血栓栓塞[4][5](pulmonary artery thromboembolism)。

肺栓塞一般指急性肺動脈栓塞[6],少數為慢性肺動脈栓塞[7]。肺栓塞的症狀有呼吸困難、吸氣時胸痛,以及咳血等等[8],也可能會出現下肢靜脈血栓的症狀,使下肢產生、腫、痛等情形[8]。肺栓塞的症狀有氧氣濃度降低、呼吸急促心跳加速,以及些微發燒[9]。嚴重的病例可能會出現昏厥休克,甚至猝死[10]

肺栓塞時常肇因於下肢血栓行至肺部[1]。而血栓形成的風險因子有罹患癌症或某些遺傳疾病、臥床英語Bed rest過久、吸菸中風、使用激素替代療法懷孕、患有肥胖、曾接受過某些手術[11]。有些案例的肺栓塞是由氣泡脂肪栓塞羊水所造成的[12][13]。診斷時需要結合臨床症狀及檢驗結果來做確診[14]。如果風險較低,可以檢測D-dimer英語D-dimer來排除可能的情形[14]肺血管電腦斷層攝影英語CT pulmonary angiography肺臟血流灌注掃描英語lung ventilation/perfusion scan,或照腿部超音波等等[14]深靜脈栓塞與肺栓塞可以合稱為靜脈血栓栓塞英語venous thromboembolism(venous thromboembolism,VTE)[15]

預防肺栓塞發生有以下方法,如術後盡快活動、久坐時進行腿部運動,在某些手術後使用抗凝劑[16]。治療時需搭配使用抗凝劑,像是肝素華法林或是某種直接口服抗凝血劑(簡稱為 DOACs)[17]等,以上皆建議至少使用三個月[17]。嚴重的病例可能需要血栓溶解英語thrombolysis用藥,例如經由靜脈或插導管給抗凝血藥組織纖維溶酶原活化劑英語Tissue plasminogen activator(簡稱為 tPA)或是接受手術(如 肺栓塞取栓術英語Pulmonary thrombectomy[18] 。如果病患狀況不適合使用抗凝劑,可考慮使用暫時性下腔靜脈過濾器英語vena cava filter[18]

歐洲,一年約有 43 萬人罹患肺栓塞[19],在美國,一年約有 30 到 60 萬名病例[1][20],其中約有 5 萬[20]到 20 萬起致死案例[21],男女患病比例幾乎均等[11]。隨著年齡增加,罹患此症越見普遍[11]
