Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Your wife is having pulmonary embolism (clots in pulmonary vessels). In this disease at least 6-8 months of blood thinner (anti coagulant) treatment is needed. After this repeat CT PULMONARY ANGIOGRAPHY should be done. And need for further anti coagulant treatment is based on follow-up CT report. If embolism is still present then another 6-8 months treatment is required.
