How long does it take for a pulmonary embolism to dissolve?

Generally you will take a medicine called Coumadin (warfarin) that will "thin" the blood, that is, take the blood longer to clot and avoid an additional blood clot from forming. This and the tincture of time, that is, the body's ability to dissolve the blood clot thru its normal processes will rid you of the clot by dissolving it thru a complex process of special cells that circulate thru the blood.
