a pulmonary embolus clogs the artery that provides blood supply to a part of the lung. the embolus not only prevents the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide but also decreases blood supply to the lung tissue itself, potentially causing the tissue to die (infarct). a 52-year-old man presented with syncope and anxiety. he had sinus tachycardia and dilated right ventricle with trabeculations. a ...

Computer Aided Detection (CAD) system for detection of pulmonary embolism (PE) is proposed in CT angiography images. Our approach consists of three stages: firstly the pulmonary artery (PA) tree is extracted from the thorax in order to reduce the search area aiming to reduce the number of false positives. In the second step, PE candidates are detected within the segmented PA by using several in...

Introduction: Pulmonary embolism is one of the leading causes of mortality in patients.The mortality rate of this disease can be significantly reduced with appropriate treatment. Surgical intervention can be highly effective for the treatment of acute massive pulmonary embolism. This article presents a report on the experience of acute pulmonary embolectomy. Materials and Methods: Demographic d...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the prognostic value of echocardiographic findings in patients who present with symptoms suggestive of acute pulmonary embolism. DESIGN 317 patients with clinically suspected pulmonary embolism were prospectively evaluated by echocardiography for the presence of right ventricular afterload stress and right heart or pulmonary artery thrombi. Objective confirmation of p...

Paradoxical embolism is an important clinical entity among patients with venous thromboembolism in the presence of intracardiac or pulmonary shunts. The clinical presentation is diverse and potentially life-threatening. Although the serious nature and complications of paradoxical embolism are recognized, the disease entity is still rarely considered and remains under-reported. This paper provid...

results the incidence of diagnosed thrombo-embolic complication was 32 of 1,153 admitted patients (2.8%; 95% confidence interval: 1.9 to 3.9) with a median interval of 14 days after anti-tb treatment initiation. the incidence of dvt and pte was 2% and 1%, respectively. thrombo-embolic events and dvt were more common in men than in women: 4.2% versus 1.3% (p = 0.003) and 3.5% versus 0.4%, respec...

Pulmonary Embolism is a blood clot in the lung which restricts flow and reduces oxygen level resulting mortality if it untreated. Further, pulmonary embolism evidenced prominently segmental sub-segmental regions of computed tomography angiography images COVID-19 patients. detection from these significant research problem challenging pandemic venture early disease detection, treatment, prognosis...

Introduction: Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is one of the deadly cardiovascular diseases. One of the indexes proposed in these patients for risk stratification is the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk index (TRI), which includes three parameters of systolic blood pressure, age, and heart rate. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of TRI on in-hospit...
