CT Pulmonary Angiography Risk Stratification Tools Underused in Suspected PE
Scare utilization of guideline-recommended risk stratification tools has been noted in computed tomography pulmonary angiography in the emergency department.
Pulmonary Embolism
Pulmonary Embolism Prevalence in Patients With COVID-19 at Hospitalization
A high prevalence of pulmonary embolism has been reported among patients with COVID-19 at the time of hospital admission.
Mortality Trends in Patients With High-Risk Pulmonary Embolism
Although the mortality of patients with high-risk pulmonary embolism has decreased over time, the decrease cannot be attributed to improved treatments for pulmonary embolism.
Pulmonary Embolism Prevalence in Hospitalized Patients With COPD
Patients with COPD who were hospitalized for acutely worsening respiratory symptoms had a prevalence of pulmonary embolism of 5.9%.
Pulmonary Embolism Does Not Increase Mortality in Critically Ill Patients With COVID-19
Critically ill patients with COVID-19 who experience concurrent pulmonary embolism do not have increased mortality compared with patients without pulmonary embolism.
ASH 2020 Guidelines on Venous Thromboembolism Management
The American Society of Hematology released evidence-based guidelines for the treatment of DVT and PE in patients without cancer.
COVID-19 With Suspected PE Shows Lung Changes Similar to Infarct, Organizing Pneumonia
Although hypercoagulability has been reported in critically ill patients with COVID-19, results from a small study revealed that these patients did not have a higher prevalence of pulmonary embolism compared to patients without COVID-19.
Acute Pulmonary Embolism Outcomes: Home vs In Hospital Treatment
Nearly half of patients with acute pulmonary embolism were treated at home with low incidence of adverse events.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Pulmonary Embolism in Patients With COVID-19
A position paper recently published by the National Pulmonary Embolism Response Team outlines an approach for diagnosing and treating pulmonary embolism in patients with COVID-19.
Surgical Embolectomy, ECMO Associated With Right Ventricular Recovery in Massive PE and High-Risk Submassive MPE
The surgical management of patients with massive pulmonary embolism and high-risk submassive PE was found to be safe and highly effective for achieving right ventricular recovery.
