Low Pulmonary Embolism Risk Identified When ᴅ-dimer Adjusted to Clinical Probability
Use of this diagnostic strategy for pulmonary embolism resulted in a reduction in the use of chest imaging.
Pulmonary Embolism
Surgery Increases Risk for Pulmonary Embolism Up to 12 Weeks After Operation
More trials are needed to evaluate whether the duration of postoperative prophylactic anticoagulation should be extended and to define its optimal duration.
Pulmonary Embolism With Tobacco Dependence Linked to 30-Day Readmission
Patients with tobacco dependence and pulmonary embolism are likely to be readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of initial discharge due to pulmonary embolism.
European Society of Cardiology Guidelines Updated for Pulmonary Embolism
A dedicated diagnostic algorithm has been proposed for suspected pulmonary embolism in pregnancy.
Thrombolysis During CPR Increases Survival in Pulmonary Embolism-Related Cardiac Arrest
Patients who received thrombolysis during cardiopulmonary resuscitation for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with confirmed pulmonary embolism had significantly higher 30-day survival rates vs patients who did not receive thrombolysis.
Clinical Case: Dyspnea on Exertion After Complications From Chemotherapy
A 65-year-old woman with breast cancer and hypertension has been experiencing progressive dyspnea on exertion after complications from chemotherapy.
Pulmonary Embolism Not Reduced With Early Vena Cava Filter Placement
Findings were seen in severely injured patients with a contraindication to prophylactic anticoagulation.
Higher Concentrations of Osteopontin in CTEPH vs Pulmonary Embolism
Patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension had increased plasma concentrations of osteopontin, which may be involved in fibrotic remodeling.
Mechanical Thrombectomy Device Effectively Treats Intermediate-Risk PE Without Thrombolysis
Mechanical thrombectomy with the FlowTriever system appears to effectively treat intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism.
Patients With Pulmonary Embolism and PFO Have Higher Rate of Recent Stroke
Investigators sought to determine whether there is a link between the frequency of recent ischemic stroke in patients with symptomatic pulmonary embolism and patent foramen ovale.
