We report a case of bi-atrial thrombi traversing the atrioventricular valves in 72-year-old female with multiple thromboembolic phenomena. Right atrial thrombus can be seen patients who are immobilized for long period time and those deep vein thrombosis pulmonary embolism. And left may present fibrillation but not common sinus rhythm. This patient is unique having both atria. She initially pres...

Behcet's disease is a multi-systemic and chronic inflammatory vasculitis of unknown etiology characterized by recurrent oral and genital ulcers, uveitis, arthritis, arterial aneurysms, venous thrombosis, skin lesions and GIS lesions. Although pulmonary artery aneurysms are rare, it is a critical condition due to high risk of rupture. Venous involvement of Behcet's disease primarily occurs in th...

The advantages of lung scanning in suspected pulmonary embolism are its diagnostic sensitivity, simplicity and safety. The ability to delineate regional pulmonary ischaemia, to quantitate its extent and to follow its response to therapy provides valuable clinical data available by no other simple means. The negative scan effectively excludes pulmonary embolism but, although certain of its featu...

Klippel - Trenaunay - Weber syndrome (KTWS) is a congenital condition characterized by a triad of capillary malformations of the skin, soft tissue and bone hypertrophy resulting in limb enlargement, and abnormalities of arteriovenous and lymphatic systems of the affected limb. In this case, we present a patient with KTWS receiving chronic anticoagulation that had a massive pulmonary embolism an...

A paradoxical embolism is defined as a systemic arterial embolism requiring the passage of a venous thrombus into the arterial circulatory system through a right-to-left shunt, and is commonly related to patent foramen ovale (PFO). However, coexisting pulmonary embolisms, deep vein thromboses (DVT), and multipe systemic arterial embolisms, associated with PFO, are rare. Here, we report a patien...

Among the spectrum of venous thrombo-embolic disease, acute pulmonary embolism accounts for the most life threatening manifestations with mortality exceeding 50%. It can affect many patient populations across various disciplines, hence immediate attention and aggressive treatment is crucial. With the advancement of technologies, various catheter-based devices are available to treat massive or s...

Therapy for submassive pulmonary embolism (intermediate risk), remains controversial. New evidence has appeared that may help us in the process of decision making. We review the relevant literature, outline prognostic factors, and discuss current recommendations and controversies regarding the available alternatives such as systemic and catheter-directed thrombolytic use.

Summary. Examination and treatment of 274 patients with acute deep vein thrombosis the lower limbs (DVT) was carried out. Thrombolytic therapy (TLT) as a basic method used in 98 (35.8 %) patients. Of these, 44 (16.1 underwent catheter-guided thrombolysis 54 (19.7 systemic thrombolytic therapy. Anticoagulant (ACT) 176 (64.2 In distant period, positive results TLT significantly exceeded ACT. Thus...
