متن کاملEvaluation of CT angiography findings in the patients with clinical diagnosis of pulmonary thromboembolism
Background and Aim: Pulmonary thromboembolism is an important clinical problem in the patients after major surgeries and is often difficult to diagnose because of nonspecific clinical symptoms. Diagnosis of pulmonary embolism is based on medical imaging methods. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of CT pulmonary angiographies of the patients with primary clinical diagnosis of pul...
متن کامل[Pulmonary CT angiography in pulmonary embolism: beyond diagnosis].
c Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) is the most common cause of short-term mortality in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE).1 Shock and hemodynamic instability, defined as systolic blood pressure below 90mmHg or a fall of more than 40mmHg, is a clinical marker of high risk and identifies patients who may benefit from early thrombolysis.2 However, in PE patients without hemodynamic com...
