This article presents a clinical case of pulmonary embolism after splenectomy in a patient who suffered an auto injury. When the spleen is removed, reactive thrombocytosis occurs, which is the main risk factor for thromboembolic complications. It shows the options for the diagnosis of thromboembolism and describes the tactics assignment of antiplatelet drugs. The preventive administration of antiplatelet drugs depending on the severity of thrombocytosis in the postoperative period is discussed.
