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...
متن کاملOveruse and underuse of pulmonary CT angiography in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism
Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the utilization and diagnostic yields of CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) using the Revised Geneva score and Wells’ criteria, in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE). Methods: One hundred and twelve adult patients underwent CTPA for suspected PE were participated in this study. The outcome was positive or neg...
متن کاملMeta-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...

متن کاملPulmonary sequestration diagnosed by multidetector computed tomographic angiography.
A 58-year-old man presented with persistent lung mass (Fig. 1). Pulmonary sequestration was diagnosed with multidetector CT angiography (MDCT) (Fig. 2). Advantages of MDCT over conventional angiography include its non-invasive nature, improved resolution and delineation of vasculature, 3D renderings, shorter acquisition time, and less exposure to radiation. Fig. 1. Computed tomography of the ch...
