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.
Pulmonary Embolism
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.
C-Arm CT With Digital Subtraction Angiography May Enhance CTEPH Diagnostic Work-Up
A combination of C-arm computed tomography with conventional digital subtraction angiography of the pulmonary arteries can enhance the diagnostic work-up of patients with suspected CTEPH.
IVC Filter Associated With Lower Pulmonary Embolism Rates in Patients With DVT and Cancer
The placement of an inferior vena cava filter reduced the rate of pulmonary embolism in patients with deep venous thrombosis and cancer.
Odds of Pulmonary Embolism Higher in COVID-19 With Obesity
The odds of developing pulmonary embolism were lower in patients taking statin therapy prior to admission.
Thromboembolic Complications in COVID-19: Prevention, Diagnosis, and Management
All hospitalized patients with COVID-19 should be started on prophylactic low-molecular-weight heparin.
High Rate of Pulmonary Embolism in COVID-19
The researchers found that 30 percent of the patients with COVID-19 had positive findings for acute pulmonary emboluson pulmonary CT angiogram; the remaining patients had negative findings on CT.
