Abstract
Stroke is a medical condition in which the blood supply to the brain is interrupted or reduced. Early in-hospital complications following a stroke
are not only pneumonia, increased intracranial pressure and intracerebral bleeding, but also pulmonary embolism (PE). The main cause of PE is venous thromboembolism developed in a paralyzed lower extremity after a stroke.
