This mass was also visualized at angiography, which in addition confirmed extensive pulmonary embolism. At autopsy, the mass was found to be a coiled thrombus, one end of which h...

متن کاملMassive pulmonary embolism.
BACKGROUND Acute massive pulmonary embolism (PE) carries an exceptionally high mortality rate. We explored how often adjunctive therapies, particularly thrombolysis and inferior vena caval (IVC) filter placement, were performed and how these therapies affected the clinical outcome of patients with massive PE. METHODS AND RESULTS Among 2392 patients with acute PE and known systolic arterial bl...
