Whole Exome Sequencing Reveals Severe Thrombophilia in Acute Unprovoked Idiopathic Fatal Pulmonary Embolism
BACKGROUND Acute unprovoked idiopathic fatal pulmonary embolism (IFPE) causes sudden death without an identifiable thrombogenic risk. We aimed to investigate the underlying genomic risks of IFPE through whole exome sequencing (WES). METHODS We reviewed 14years of consecutive out-of-hospital fatal pulmonary embolism records (n=1478) from the ethnically diverse population of New York City. We s...

متن کاملPost Splenectomy Fatal Pulmonary Embolism in a Patient with Moderate Hemophilia A
Hemophilia A is a bleeding disorder caused by defective production of factor VIII. The main concern associated with the disease is bleeding, especially after trauma and surgeries. Factor VIII replacement therapy is associated with substantial decrease of bleeding events during surgery. However, there have been a number of reports of thromboemblic events in this situ-ation.

متن کاملFatal Pulmonary Tumor Embolic Microangiopathy in Young Lady without Known Primary Malignancy
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. Malignancy, prolonged recumbence, and chemotherapy are renowned risk factors for development of clinically significant PE. Cancer exerts a multitude of pathophysiological processes, for example, hypercoagulability and abnormal vessels with sluggish circulation that can lead to PE. One of the peculiar ...
متن کاملFatal massive haemoptysis after embolectomy for chronic pulmonary embolism.
Since the first report of successful "late" embolectomy for recurrent pulmonary embolism,' a number of patients have been described with significant pulmonary hypertension where clinical improvement associated with lowering of pulmonary artery pressure has followed removal of extensive, well-organised thrombo-embolic material from major pulmonary vessels.2 The following case history illustrates...
