Filter by:RAZIONALE Pulmonary embolism is a complex disease, with a highly variable clincal presentation. Diagnosis starts with clinical probability assessment mainly based on medical history and rapidly available clinical data. Pulmonary embolism can be managed by emergency department, cardiology, pneumology geriatrics or internal medicine physicians. Thus, initial clinical management can varies based on the attitude of the attending physician. Diagnosis is a crucial point as it can influence short term mortality. OBJECTIVE The registry has 3 main objectives: 1. educational objective, 2. improvement in the knowledge of epidemiology, management and outcome of acute pulmonary embolism in Italy 3. scientific objective
The purpose of this study is to determine if the EKOS EkoSonic® Endovascular Device when used in conjunction with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) as a treatment for acute PE will decrease the ratio of right ventricle (RV) to left ventricle (LV) diameter within 48 =/- 6 hours in participants with massive or submassive PE.
You are admitted to hospital because of pulmonary embolism. You are treated with anticoagulants. The investigators know that, despite this treatment, pulmonary embolism can be a threat especially if heart function is compromized. The investigators investigate a well known study drug (epoprostenol) on top of regular treatment with anticoagulants, to see if heart function can be optimized
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of the long-term treatment of pulmonary embolism with tinzaparin compared to oral anticoagulants.
The aim of the study is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of 99mTc ThromboView® SPECT imaging for the detection of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients for whom there is a moderate to high clinical suspicion for PE.
