PULMONARY VASCULATURE Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography and prognostic significance in patients with acute pulmonary embolism

Background: Patients with acute pulmonary embolism (APE) present with a broad spectrum of prognoses. Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) has progressively been established as a first line test in the APE diagnostic algorithm, but estimation of short term prognosis by this method remains to be explored. Methods: Eighty two patients admitted with APE were divided into three groups a...

Meta-analysis: outcomes in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism managed with computed tomographic pulmonary angiography.

BACKGROUND Spiral computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is increasingly being used in the evaluation of patients with clinically suspected pulmonary embolism (PE). However, CTPA as a definitive diagnostic test may be limited by inadequate sensitivity, especially in instances of isolated subsegmental emboli. PURPOSE To assess the safety of withholding anticoagulation in patients wi...

Prognostic value of right ventricular dysfunction and pulmonary obstruction index by computed tomographic pulmonary angiography in patients with acute pulmonary embolism.

OBJECTIVE To quantify right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) and pulmonary obstruction index assessed by computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) to assess the predictive value of these CT parameters for mortality after the initial diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism (APE). MATERIAL AND METHOD In 81 consecutive patients with proved APE, two readers assessed the extent of RVD, the shap...
