Core Tip Current guidelines suggest that isolated subsegmental pulmonary embolism (SSPE) patients at low risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence and without concurrent proximal VTE can be followed up with clinical surveillance in preference to anticoagulation. This is based on limited evidence and a randomised controlled trial is required to determine the risks and benefits of anticoagulation in SSPE.
