Venous thrombo-embolism is a life threatening condition with often non specific presentation. The detection of massive pulmonary embolism in the intra and immediate post-operative period is not only difficult due to the variety of conditions with similar presentation, but the therapy for the same is complicated with concerns of surgical and intracranial bleeding precluding various options. We p...

Pulmonary embolism is considered to originate from embolization of a deep-vein thrombosis, resulting in two manifestations of one disease: venous thrombosis. However, in up to 50% of patients with pulmonary embolism no deep-vein thrombosis is found with ultrasonography. An explanation for this low proportion is currently lacking. Other imaging modalities may increase the yield of detection of d...

Background: A clinically important impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the increased likelihood thromboembolism, mainly pulmonary embolism (PE). To screen for these complications a biochemical marker, D-dimer, usually done. There plethora research validating use D-dimer cutoff levels in non-COVID-19 patients, however less so COVID-19 population. Aim: determine number suspected COVI...

Todays, researchers in the field of Pulmonary Embolism (PE) analysis need to use a publicly available dataset to assess and compare their methods. Different systems have been designed for the detection of pulmonary embolism (PE), but none of them have used any public datasets. All papers have used their own private dataset. In order to fill this gap, we have collected 5160 slices of computed to...

The work highlights the principles of a new approach to management patientswith pulmonary embolism against background antiphospholipid syndrome, takinginto account modern recommendations and clinical case analysis. expediencyof ECG digitalization using software- diagnostic complex «Smart ECG» at pulmonaryembolism, combined with make differential diagnostics ofacute coronary is substantiated.

BACKGROUND The diagnostic value of indirect computed tomographic venography (CTV), following thoracic computed tomographic angiography (CTA), has not been specifically evaluated in postpartum patients with suspected pulmonary embolism. OBJECTIVES To assess the diagnostic value of CTV in postpartum venous thromboembolism. METHODS We reviewed all CTA and CTV procedures performed during the la...

background: safe exclusion and risk stratification are currently recommended for the initial management of patients with acute pulmonary embolism (ape). the aim of this study was to assess the safe exclusion and risk stratification value of d-dimer (dd) for ape when tested at the beginning of admission. materials and methods: all consecutive chinese ape patients and controls were recruited from...
