Pulmonary Embolism

2019-10-29 18:47:55
Hi, My father had Pulmonary Embolism 2 years back. Since then he has been on anticoagulants with monthly INR follow-up. Want to know if this is the best treatment and does Pulmonary Embolism always have recurrence. Also should we do D dimer occasionaly for precautionary measures.
