Since the clinical diagnosis of pulmonary embolism is unreliable, various objective diagnostic methods (or combinations thereof) are advocated. Pulmonary angiography is the accepted reference method but is considered less suitable for initial screening due to its invasive nature. Therefore, at least nine different diagnostic management strategies employing invasive and noninvasive diagnostic tests are used in clinical practice. We assessed the cost-effectiveness of these strategies to help identify the optimal approach.
