Background—The long-term prognosis for patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) is
dependent on the underlying disease, degree of pulmonary hypertension (PH), and degree …

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the severity of acute pulmonary
embolism (PE) could be quantitatively assessed with spiral CT angiography (SCTA). Thirty …

There is widespread acceptance of the thesis that in a patient with suspected embolism, a
normal perfusion lung scan excludes the diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism. However …

Long-term follow-up studies have consistently demonstrated that after an episode of acute
pulmonary embolism (PE), half of patients report functional limitations and/or decreased …

PURPOSE: To determine whether quantification of pulmonary embolus (PE) with computed
tomographic (CT) pulmonary angiography by using a standardized index is a predictor of …

The response of pulmonary arterial pressure to minor degrees of pulmonary embolism was
examined in 18 patients with embolic occlusion of less than 25 percent of the pulmonary …

Selective pulmonary arteriography, with superselective magnification views of the lung
bases or other areas where abnormalities are shown on perfusion lung scans, performed …

Background: The role of risk stratification in normotensive patients with acute pulmonary
embolism (PE) is still unclear. Objectives: We evaluated, in these patients, the usefulness of …

Aims We hypothesized that first-time submassive pulmonary embolism (PE) can cause
persistent, significant cardiopulmonary problems, including right ventricular damage and …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to establish whether a correlation exists between
the CT pulmonary angiographic clot burden score, the ECG score at diagnosis, and the 12 …
