Resumo

Thromboembolic episodes are particularly important in chronic Chagas' heart disease. Systemic and pulmonary embolic phenomena are important complications of the disease. Prophylaxis of the thromboembolic phenomena with anticoagulant therapy should be considered in several clinical forms of the disease. Further studies will have to address the stratification risk issue.
