Acute Thrombo-embolic Renal Infarction

Acute Thrombo-embolic Renal Infarction

A 65-year-old woman was admitted for acute onset of right lower abdominal pain. She was taking anticoagulant medication regularly for rheumatic valvular disease and atrial fibrillation. Physical examination revealed no obvious abdominal or flank tenderness. Right thrombo-embolic renal infarction was diagnosed after performing computed tomography angiography (CTA).

On Acute Thrombo-Embolic Occlusion of the Superior Mesenteric Artery

Embolic renal infarction mimicking renal colic

Atrial fibrillation is a major health problem with risk of systemic arterial embolism. Acute embolic renal infarction is a rare condition with symptoms that are often nonspecific. We present a 36-year-old previously healthy man with acute embolic renal infarction secondary to new onset atrial fibrillation, who presented with flank pain mimicking renal colic. The patient was treated successfully...

Incidence of chronic thrombo-embolic pulmonary hypertension following acute pulmonary thrombo-embolism: an Indian perspective.

Chronic thrombo-embolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) remains a severe disabling disease causing a significant amount of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The incidence and severity of this condition is quite obscure. The initial inciting event, the reason of progression, the natural history of the disease and the predictors of adverse outcomes are not yet adequately clarified. From the India...

Thrombo-embolic primary pulmonary arteriosclerosis.

That diverse factors are concerned in causing arterial pathological changes largely confined to lungs is clear from a review published by McKeown (1952). Only one of these factors, incorporation of fibrin into arterial intima, is here considered as a cause of pulmonary arteriosclerosis and cor pulmonale. Goedel (1930), Belt (1939), and according to Duguid (1946) Rokitansky were all aware that i...
