Filter by:Little is known about the current management status of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in Southwestern China. We aimed to investigate the status of anticoagulant administration in VTE in Southwestern China and assess the potential predictors of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) complicated pulmonary embolism (PE). We extracted data from YiduCloud database from December 2006 to November 2018 and performed a cross-sectional survey of VTE. The demographics, laboratory tests, and anticoagulants were collected and analyzed in the logistic regression model, classification tree and Random Forest model.
For a prospective, single-arm clinical study, this study plans to recruit patients with acute pulmonary intravascular embolization, use production of transcatheter pulmonary artery bolt system which named 'TwiFlow-Thrombectomy Catheter System' developed by the MorningSide (NanTong) medical device Co., LTD. on pulmonary artery interventional therapy, for evaluating the efficacy and safety of this novel system in the treatment of patients with pulmonary intravascular embolization disease.
Venous thromboembolic disease is a clinical entity including pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It is a chronic disease with 30% recurrence rate at 10 years. In patients with recurrent PE clinical suspicion, an objective and accurate diagnostic method/strategy is warranted to exclude or confirm a PE new episode diagnosis and to decide on treatment initiation. Recurrent PE diagnosis raises several issues related to the limitations of clinical scores, D-dimer testing, and diagnostic imaging used for a first episode diagnosis. Most importantly, residual obstruction on chest imaging reported in more than 50% of cases at 6 months can make it difficult to distinguish between an old and a new thrombosis in the absence of possible comparison with a previous imaging carried out under the same modalities. There are currently few recommendations about the diagnostic strategy for patients with a recurrent PE clinical suspicion and these recommendations are not very consistent due to the lack of a validated strategy. None of current guidelines have included imaging-detectable lower-limb DVT within the strategies despite a reported high prevalence of PE-associated DVT. In one study using venography, 82% (95% CI 76.5 - 86.9) of angiographically-proven PE patients had an associated proximal or distal deep vein thrombosis, of which 42% were asymptomatic. In another study using lower-limb venous ultrasound, a proximal or distal DVT was detected in 93% (95% CI 85-97) of patients with PE.
To explore the pathogenesis, therapy and outcome of pulmonary embolism (PE) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH).
A frequent complication of COVID-19 disease is pulmonary embolism (PE). Lung ventilation/perfusion (V/P) scintigraphy is a well-established test for PE diagnosis. The test is interpreted based on the recognition of wedge shaped perfusion mismatched defects. However, the ventilation procedure increases the potential risk of contamination by the aerosol secretion and the expired air. A variety of strategies have been proposed in the nuclear medicine literature regarding performance of lung ventilation scintigraphy in COVID-19 patients with suspected acute PE. However, there is currently no factual data in this specific population to support recommendations to the nuclear medicine community. The aim of this study was to assess the role of ventilation imaging when performing lung scintigraphy for suspected PE in COVID-19 patients.
Scoring systems (SOFA, APACHE-II etc.) are used to estimate the mortality rates of patients treated in the intensive care unit. . In the scoring systems used, the disfunction level of the organs of the patients is measured. Blood gas analysis is routinely performed in patients whom intubated in the intensive care unit and receiving mechanical ventilation support, and the patient's treatment is optimized according to the results of the examination. The patient's mechanical ventilation settings are regulated by analyzing the Partial Arterial Carbondioxide (paCO2) value in the patient's blood gas result. The difference between the paCO2 value in the blood gas and the End-tidal Carbondioxide (EtCO2) value measured in the mechanical ventilator is 3-5mmHg in normal healthy people, while this difference is seen more in critical care patients. In critically ill patients in the intensive care unit, there is a greater increase in the difference between paCO2 and ETCO2 in cases where mortality is high, such as global perfusion disorder, shock situations, and massive pulmonary embolism, etc. In this study, it was planned to investigate the use of the difference between the paCO2 value in the blood gas taken from the patient and the ETCO2 value measured in the mechanical ventilator to predict the mortality rate of the patient.
The scope of this study is the external validation of an explainable deep learning-based classifier for the diagnosis and detection of pulmonary embolism in computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) and contrast enhanced CT scans.
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous mechanical aspiration thrombectomy using the AlphaVac Multipurpose Mechanical Aspiration (MMA) F1885 PE in a prospective trial of patients with acute intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE).
Investigators are building an empirical evidence base for real world data through large-scale replication of randomized controlled trials. The investigators' goal is to understand for what types of clinical questions real world data analyses can be conducted with confidence and how to implement such studies.
