Suggest Treatment For Blood Clots In The Lungs

My Grandma has blood clots in her lungs and was just rushed to Intensive Care. She is Obese and has been in and out of the hospital for the past few weeks, but this time it is more than serious. I would like to know what steps the doctors are going to take now, and if she needs surgery, what will happen? Please answer as quickly as you can. Thank You.
