Complete resolution of major pulmonary embolism (PE) treated with heparin alone can often
take> 3 weeks. Thrombolytic agents effectively resolve pulmonary artery thrombi within a few …

The state of the art of diagnostic evaluation of hemodynamically stable patients with
suspected acute pulmonary embolism was reviewed. Diagnostic evaluation should begin …

Twelve per cent (118 cases) of all consecutive necropsies in a large general hospital during
a five-year period (1956-1960) were found to have pulmonary emboli. The charts and …

OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to retrospectively determine the rate of
resolution of pulmonary emboli (PEs) in individual vessels and the rate of complete …

To determine the sensitivities and specificities of ventilation/perfusion lung scans for acute
pulmonary embolism, a random sample of 933 of 1493 patients was studied prospectively …

To determine the relationships between perfusion scan defect and angiographic severity
(Miller index) in acute pulmonary embolism, we analysed examinations obtained before and …

Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a potentially fatal disease with risks of recurrent
venous thrombotic events (venous thromboembolism [VTE]) and major bleeding from …

Background: Studies aimed at assessing whether the emboli lodged in the central
pulmonary arteries carry a worse prognosis than more peripheral emboli have yielded …

The rate of resolution of a first episode of pulmonary embolism (PE) is uncertain. A baseline
test indicating any residual PE is pivotal in aiding a more accurate diagnosis of recurrent PE …

Most large or fatal pulmonary embolisms (PE) at autopsy were unsuspected ante mortem.
Newly identified clinical characteristics of PE enhance our ability to identify potential …
