Multiple tumour emboli simulating a massive pulmonary embolus.

چکیده
Pulmonary hypertension in association with carcinomatosis was first described over 100 years ago (Bristow, 1868). Kane et al. (1975), however, found only 23 reported cases of multiple tumour emboli causing dyspnoea, adding 16 of their own. Only four of these cases were reported from the British Isles. Sarcomas, although commonly metastasising to the lungs have not previously been reported as giving rise to multiple tumour emboli.

Background & Aims: The most common diagnostic modality for pulmonary emboli is CT angiography (CTA). Because of the availability and inexpensiveness, taking an electrocardiogram (ECG) is the first step in patients suspicious to pulmonary emboli. However, ECG does not provide any sensitive or specific manifestations for diagnosis of pulmonary emboli. We aim to evaluate the correlation between...

متن کاملThe accuracy of pulmonary angiography in assessing resolution of experimental thromboemboli.
Quantification of pulmonary emboli has become important in assessing the results of thrombolytic therapy and in following the natural history of thromboemboli. This study evaluated angiography as a quantitative procedure by comparing sequential changes in emboli of known size and weight with alterations on angiograms. Twenty-four aged thrombi formed in vivo were embolized intact into 12 recipie...
