Incidental Findings in Patients Evaluated for Pulmonary Embolism Using Computed Tomography Angiography
Introduction: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common lethal disease that its clinical symptoms may be seen in many other diseases. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is a valuable diagnostic modality for detection of PE. In addition, it can accurately detect the other diseases with clinical symptoms similar to PE. The aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency of PE and nonemboli...
متن کاملApplication of centrifugal pump in right ventricular failure due to pulmonary artery hypertension. (A case report)
Background: It has not been yet developed a ost suitable method to treat right ventricular failure due to pulmonar artery hypertention resulted from ventricular arrhythia. Though some case reports about patients ready to heart transplant using left assist device or biventral assist device as bridge have been published in Journals, but nocase concerning application of centrifugal pump for treatm...
متن کاملAutomated Axial Right Ventricle to Left Ventricle Diameter Ratio Computation in Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Right Ventricular to Left Ventricular (RV/LV) diameter ratio has been shown to be a prognostic biomarker for patients suffering from acute Pulmonary Embolism (PE). While Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA) images used to confirm a clinical suspicion of PE do include information of the heart, a numerical RV/LV diameter ratio is not universally reported, likely...
متن کاملclinical and echocardiographic findings of patients with suspected acute pulmonary thromboembolism who underwent computed tomography pulmonary angiography
background: the aim of the study is to determine the correlation between clinical and echocardiographic fi ndings and risk factors of patients with suspected acute pulmonary thromboembolism (pte) who underwent computed tomography pulmonary angiography (ctpa). materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study, 310 hospitalized patients aged >18 years with high clinical suspicion of pte referr...
متن کاملImplementation and Performance of Automated Software for Computing Right-to-Left Ventricular Diameter Ratio From Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography Images.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to prospectively test the performance and potential for clinical integration of software that automatically calculates the right-to-left ventricular (RV/LV) diameter ratio from computed tomography pulmonary angiography images. METHODS Using 115 computed tomography pulmonary angiography images that were positive for acute pulmonary embolism, we prospectively...
