[D-dimer in acute aortic dissection].
D-dimer measurement is widely accepted as a diagnostic test for pulmonary embolism in cases in which a negative value has a high predictive power. We present two cases of acute thoracic aortic dissection with particularly high D-dimer values and discuss the diagnostic value of D-dimer as an initial test with suspected aortic dissection.
متن کاملQualitative point-of-care D-dimer testing compared with quantitative D-dimer testing in excluding pulmonary embolism in primary care.
BACKGROUND General practitioners can safely exclude pulmonary embolism (PE) by using the Wells PE rule combined with D-dimer testing. OBJECTIVE To compare the accuracy of a strategy using the Wells rule combined with either a qualitative point-of-care (POC) D-dimer test performed in primary care or a quantitative laboratory-based D-dimer test. METHODS We used data from a prospective cohort ...

background: safe exclusion and risk stratification are currently recommended for the initial management of patients with acute pulmonary embolism (ape). the aim of this study was to assess the safe exclusion and risk stratification value of d-dimer (dd) for ape when tested at the beginning of admission. materials and methods: all consecutive chinese ape patients and controls were recruited from...
متن کاملD-dimer in patients with suspected acute mesenteric ischemia.
OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to assess the diagnostic value of D-dimer in patients with suspected acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) and to evaluate the correlation between D-dimer levels and the severity of bowel necrosis. METHODS A prospective, noninterventional study of 67 patients with clinical suspicion of AMI was performed. Measurement of D-dimer levels was performed using a late...
متن کاملValue of d-dimer testing in acute aortic dissection.
Aortic Dissection To the Editor: We read with great interest the recent review on etiology, diagnosis and management in aortic dissection.1 In their discussion on diagnostic strategies, the authors state that useful biomarkers for aortic dissection are currently absent. We recently reported on 24 patients with acute aortic dissection in whom D-dimer, a degradation product of cross-linked fibrin...
