Pulmonary Emboli in Pediatric Patients: Clinical Predictors Identified
Prospective validation research is needed before these clinical predictors of pediatric PE can become guidelines.
Pulmonary Embolism
Outcomes With Catheter-Directed vs Systemic Thrombolysis in Intermediate-Risk Pulmonary Emboli
A systematic review evaluated whether catheter-directed thrombolysis improved outcomes in patients with intermediate-risk pulmonary emboli.
Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Effective for Massive PE
The use of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as bridge therapy for massive pulmonary embolism may allow clinicians to better triage patients to appropriate destination therapy.
No Increased Risk for VTE After Flu Vaccine in People Older Than 50
Influenza vaccination does not increase the risk for venous thromboembolism in patients older than 50 years of age.
No Difference in Short-Term Outcome Between Saddle and Nonsaddle Pulmonary Embolism
Similar short-term outcomes were seen in patients with saddle and nonsaddle pulmonary embolism.
Prediction of Short-, Long-Term Mortality in Elderly With Stable Acute PE
Charleston comorbidity index is an independent predictor of mortality in patients with hemodynamically stable pulmonary embolism.
Anatomic Location of Thrombus Not Affected Outcomes of Surgical Pulmonary Embolectomy
Patients with either central or peripheral pulmonary embolism had positive outcomes with surgical pulmonary embolectomy for peripheral distribution of thrombus.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Contributes to Risk of Recurrent PE
Obstructive sleep apnea increases patients’ risk for recurrent pulmonary embolism following cessation of oral anticoagulation therapy.
