Abstract:

Primary and recurrent venous thromboembolic disease (VTE, deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism) remain a significant source of morbidity and mortality in the hospitalized patient. Non-specific subjective complaints and lack of specific objective findings related to acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) complicate the diagnosis. There remains no single serum marker available to exclusively confirm the diagnosis of VTE. While D-dimer is highly sensitive and useful for diagnostic exclusion, it lacks the specificity necessary for diagnostic confirmation resulting

Abstract Abstract 714 Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) has become the standard diagnostic modality for the detection of pulmonary embolism (PE). More recently, the advent of multidetector CT has allowed better visualization of segmental and sub-segmental pulmonary arteries. Hence, the proportion of patients with suspected PE, in whom an isolated sub-segmental pulmonary embolism (SSPE) is reported, has increased. The clinical importance of isolated SSPE diagnosis is unclear. The increased incidence of SSPE diagnosed by CTPA seems to be associated with a lower severity of illness

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is one of the most common causes of severe morbidity and mortality during pregnancy. PE diagnosis during pregnancy remains a true challenge for all physicians, as many of the symptoms and signs associated with PE are often reported during physiological pregnancy. The fear of missing a PE during pregnancy leads a low threshold of suspicion, hence to a low prevalence of confirmed PE among pregnant women with suspected PE. This means that most pregnant women with suspected PE do not have the disease. Until recently, international guidelines suggested thoracic imaging in al
