The objective was to evaluate the helical CT (HCT) criteria that could indicate severe pulmonary embolism (PE). In a retrospective
study, 81 patients (mean age 62 years) with clinical suspicion of PE explored by HCT were studied. The patients were separated
into three different groups according to clinical severity and treatment decisions: group SPE included patients with severe
PE based on clinical data who were treated by fibrinolysis or embolectomy (n=20); group NSPE included patients with non-severe PE who received heparin (n=30); and group WPE included patients without PE (n=31). For each patient we calculated a vascular obstruction index based on the site of obstruction and the degree of occlusion
in the pulmonary artery. We noted the HCT signs, i.e., cardiac and pulmonary artery dimensions, that could indicate acute
cor pulmonale. According to multivariate analysis, factors significantly correlated with the severity of PE were: the vascular
obstruction index (group SPE: 54%; group NSPE: 24%; p<0.001); the maximum minor axis of the left ventricle (group SPE: 30.2 mm; group NSPE: 40.4 mm; p<0.001); the diameter of the central pulmonary artery (group SPE: 32.4 mm; group NSPE: 28.3 mm; p<0.001); the maximum minor axis of the right ventricle (group SPE: 47.5 mm; group NSPE: 42.7 mm; p=0.029); the right ventricle/left ventricle minor axis ratio (group SPE: 1.63; group NSPE: 1.09; p<0.0001). Our data suggest that hemodynamic severity of PE can be assessed on HCT scans by measuring four main criteria: the
vascular obstruction index; the minimum diameter of the left ventricle; the RV:LV ratio; and the diameter of the central pulmonary
artery. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to analyze pulmonary embolism (PE) occurrence and retrospective clinical outcome in patients with clinically suspected acute PE and a negative spiral CT angiography (SCTA) of the pulmonary arteries. Within a 35-month period, 485 consecutive patients with clinical symptoms of acute PE underwent SCTA of the pulmonary arteries. Patients with a negative SCTA and without anticoagulation treatment were followed-up and formed the study group. Patient outcome and recurrence of PE was evaluated retrospectively during a period of 6 months after the initial SCTA, and included a review of computerized patient records, and interviews with physicians and patients. Patients were asked to fill out a questionnaire concerning all relevant questions about their medical history and clinical course during the follow-up period. Special attention was focused on symptoms indicating recurrent PE, as well as later confirmation and therapy of PE. Of the 485 patients, 325 patients (67%) had a negative scan, 134 (27.6%) had radiological signs of PE, and 26 (5.4%) had an indeterminant result. Of 325 patients with a negative scan, 269 (83%) were available for follow-up. The main reasons for loss to follow-up were change of address, name, or phone number, or non-resident patients who left abroad. Of 269 patients available for follow-up, 49 patients (18.2% of 269) received anticoagulant treatment because of prior or recent deep venous thrombosis (32.6%) or a history of PE (34.7%), cardiovascular disease (18.4%), high clinical probability (8.2%), positive ventilation–perfusion scan (4.2%), and elevated D-dimer test (2%). The remaining 220 patients, who did not receive anticoagulant medication, formed the study group. Of this study group, 1 patient died from myocardial infarction 6 weeks after the initial SCTA, and the postmortem examination also detected multiple peripheral emboli in both lungs (p=0.45%; 0.01–2.5, 95% confidence interval). The PE did not occur in any other patient. In patients with suspected PE and negative SCTA without anticoagulant therapy, the risk of recurrent PE in this study was less than 1% and similar to that in patients after a negative pulmonary angiogram. Therefore, we conclude that patients can be managed safely without anticoagulation therapy; however, this approach may not be appropriate for critically ill patients and those with persistent high clinical suspicion of acute PE. 相似文献

Clinically suspected pulmonary embolism: is it safe to withhold anticoagulation after a negative spiral CT? 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The goal of this study was 3-month clinical outcome in non-anticoagulated patients with clinically suspected acute pulmonary
embolism (PE) following a negative spiral CT. During a 6-month period 305 patients underwent spiral CT, of whom only 8 also
had a lung scintigraphy. In patients with a final CT report read as not positive for acute PE, all hospital records and answers
to a patient questionnaire were analyzed for episodes of venous thrombembolism (VTE). Acute PE was diagnosed at spiral CT
in 61 patients (20 %). Twenty-six of the remaining 244 patients were excluded from further analysis because of (a) long-term
anticoagulation due to symptomatic acute deep venous thrombosis (n = 5), clinically diagnosed acute PE (n = 2), chronic recurrent VTE (n = 4), and cardiac disorders (n = 5); and (b) a normal perfusion scintigram (n = 4) or a negative pulmonary arteriogram (n = 6). Three patients were lost to follow-up. Among the remaining 215 patients only 10 had undergone a negative lower extremity
venous study. Sixteen patients (7 %) died during the follow-up period, 6 of whom underwent autopsy. Venous thrombembolism
was diagnosed in three of the 215 patients (1.4 %, 95 % confidence limits: 0.5–4.0 %), one causing the patient's death. Two
patients had advanced thoracic malignancies and the third severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (84 years old). A negative
spiral CT may be able to exclude clinically significant acute PE with the same accuracy as a normal lung scintigraphy or a
negative pulmonary arteriography.

Comparison of doses for pulmonary embolism detection with helical CT and pulmonary angiography 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The objective of this study was to compare the radiation exposure delivered by helical CT and pulmonary angiography (PA) for
the detection of pulmonary embolism (PE), with an anthropomorphic phantom. A preliminary survey defined a representative standard
procedure for helical CT and PA (n=148) by choosing the exposure settings most frequently used. Then, radiation doses were measured with thermoluminescent dosimeters
TLD 100 (Lif) introduced into the depth of an anthropomorphic phantom. Average doses were approximately five times smaller
with helical CT than with PA (6.4±1.5 and 28±7.6 mGy, respectively). The most important doses were abreast the pulmonary apex
for CT, and abreast the pulmonary arteries for PA. Compared with PA, helical CT dose distribution was relatively uniform (10–13 mGy).
Finally, concerning abdomen and pelvis, doses were more important for PA than for CT scan (0.06–2.86 and 0.2–11.5 mGy, respectively).
For the diagnostics of PE, radiation exposure is five times smaller with helical CT than with pulmonary angiography. 相似文献

PurposeTo report initial experience with safety and efficacy in the treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE) using the FlowTriever device.Materials and MethodsA single-center retrospective study was performed in all patients with acute central PE treated using the FlowTriever device between March 2018 and March 2019. A total of 46 patients were identified (massive = 8; submassive = 38), all with right ventricular (RV) strain and 26% with thrombolytic contraindications. Technical success (according to SIR reporting guidelines) and clinical success (defined as mean pulmonary artery pressure intraprocedural improvement) are reported, as are major device and procedure-related complications within 30 days after discharge.ResultsTechnical success was achieved in 100% of cases (n = 46). Average mean pulmonary artery pressure improved significantly from before to after the procedure for the total population (33.9 ± 8.9 mm Hg before, 27.0 ± 9.0 mm Hg after; P < .0001; 95% confidence interval [CI], 5.0–8.8), submassive cohort (34.7 ± 9.1 mm Hg before, 27.4 ± 9.2 mm Hg after; P < .0001; 95% CI, 5.2–9.5) and massive cohort (30.4 ± 6.9 mm Hg before, 25.4 ± 8.2 mm Hg after; P < .05; 95% CI:0.4–9.6). Intraprocedural reduction in mean pulmonary artery pressure was achieved in 88% (n = 37 of 42). A total of 100% of patients (n = 46 of 46) survived to hospital discharge. In total, 71% of patients (n = 27 of 38) experienced intraprocedural reduction in supplemental oxygen requirements. Two major adverse events (4.6%) included hemoptysis requiring intubation, and procedure-related blood loss requiring transfusion. No delayed procedure-related complications or deaths occurred within 30 days of hospital discharge.ConclusionsInitial clinical experience using the FlowTriever to perform mechanical thrombectomy showed encouraging trends with respect to safety and efficacy for the treatment of acute central, massive, and submassive pulmonary embolism. 相似文献

This study was an analysis of the correlation between pulmonary embolism (PE) and patient survival. Among 694 consecutive
patients referred to our institution with clinical suspicion of acute PE who underwent CT pulmonary angiography, 188 patients
comprised the study group: 87 women (46.3%, median age: 60.7; age range: 19–88 years) and 101 men (53.7%, median age: 66.9;
age range: 21–97 years). PE was assessed by two radiologist who were blinded to the results from the follow-up. A PE index
was derived for each set of images on the basis of the embolus size and location. Results were analyzed using logistic regression,
and correlation with risk factors and patient outcome (survival or death) was calculated. We observed no significant correlation
between the CTPE index and patient outcome (p = 0.703). The test of logistic regression with the sum of heart and liver disease
or presence of cancer was significantly (p< 0.05) correlated with PE and overall patient outcome. Interobserver agreement
showed a significant correlation rate for the assessment of the PE index (0.993; p< 0.001). In our study the CT PE index did
not translate into patient outcome. Prospective larger scale studies are needed to confirm the predictive value of the index
and refine the index criteria.

The goal of this study was to retrospectively evaluate CT cardiovascular parameters and pulmonary artery clot load score as predictors of 3-month mortality in patients with clinically non-severe pulmonary embolism (PE). We included 226 CT positive for PE in hemodynamically stable patients (112 women; mean age 67.1 years ±16.9). CT were independently reviewed by two observers. Results were compared with occurrence of death within 3 months using Cox regression. Twenty-four (10.6%) patients died, for whom 9 were considered to be due to PE. Interobserver agreement was moderate for the shape of interventricular septum (κ = 0.41), and for the ratio between the diameters of right and left ventricle (RV/LV) (κ = 0.76). Observers found no association between interventricular septum shape and death. A RV/LV diameter ratio >1 was predictive of death (OR, 3.83; p < 0.01) only when we also took into account the value of the embolic burden (<40%). In a multivariate model, CT cardiovascular parameters were not associated with death. Concomitant lower limb DVT and comorbid conditions were important predictors of death. In clinically non-severe PE, a RV/LV diameter ratio >1 is predictive of death when the embolic burden is low (<40%). 相似文献

Purpose
To compare the technical and clinical effectiveness of ultrasound-accelerated endovascular thrombolysis (USAT) versus pigtail catheter–directed thrombolysis (PCDT) for the treatment of acute pulmonary embolism (PE).Materials and Methods
A single-center retrospective study of patients treated with USAT or PCDT for acute massive or submassive PE between January 2010 and December 2016 was performed by reviewing electronic medical records. Sixty treatments were reviewed (mean patient age, 56.7 y ± 14.6), including 52 cases of submassive PE (21 treated with USAT, 31 with PCDT) and 8 cases of massive PE (3 treated with USAT, 5 with PCDT). Endpoints included pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), Miller PE severity index, tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) dose, infusion duration, procedural variables, and complications.Results
Demographics, PE severity, and right:left ventricular diameter ratios were similar between groups. USAT and PCDT significantly reduced mean PAP (reductions of 7.4 mm Hg [P = .002] and 8.2 mm Hg [P < .001], respectively) and Miller index scores (reductions of 45.8% [P < .001] and 53% [P < .001], respectively) with similar effectiveness (P = .47 and P = .15, respectively). Procedure (P < .001) and fluoroscopy (P = .001) times were significantly longer in the USAT group. The USAT group underwent fewer sessions (2.2 ± 0.6 vs 2.4 ± 0.6; P = .17) with shorter infusion times (23.9 h ± 8.8 vs 30.4 h ± 12.6; P = .065) and a lower total dose of TPA (27.1 mg ± 11.3 vs 30.4 mg ± 12.6; P = .075) compared with the PCDT group, but the differences were not significant. Complications (P = .07) and 30-day mortality rates (P = .56) were not significantly different between groups.Conclusions
USAT and PCDT demonstrated comparable effectiveness and safety in the treatment of patients with acute PE. 相似文献12.

This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) for acute massive pulmonary embolism (PE). Fourteen patients (8 men, 6 women) with a mean age of 55.4 (range, 38?C71) years with acute massive PE were initially diagnosed by computed tomography (CT) and confirmed by pulmonary angiography. All patients presented with acute PE symptoms and hemodynamic compromise. Each patient was treated with Straub Rotarex thrombectomy device and five patients received additional thrombolysis. Technique success and clinical improvement were achieved in all patients without major complications. The mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) decreased from 37.6?±?6.6 to 29?±?6.4?mmHg (P?<?0.01) after PMT. Partial arterial pressures of O2 (PaO2) increased from 61.1?±?9.2 to 88?±?5.1?mmHg (P?<?0.01). The Miller index was 0.67?±?0.11 and 0.37?±?0.13 (P?<?0.01), respectively, before and after PMT (P?<?0.01). Eleven patients had no recurrence of PE on a mean follow-up of 28.3?months, whereas the other three patients were lost to follow-up. The preliminary experience in our series suggests that the Straub Rotarex thrombectomy device, which has been utilized in peripheral arteries, also is useful for the treatment of acute massive PE. 相似文献

PurposeTo compare effectiveness and safety of large-bore aspiration thrombectomy (LBAT) with catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) for treatment of acute massive and submassive pulmonary embolism (PE).Materials and MethodsThis retrospective review included patients with acute PE treated with LBAT or CDT using tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) between December 2009 and May 2020. A propensity score based on Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index class and PE severity (massive vs submassive) was calculated, and 26 LBAT cases (age 60.2 y ± 17.1, 14/26 women) were matched with 26 CDT cases (age 59.7 y ± 14.2, 14/26 women).ResultsThe CDT group had 22.1 mg ± 8.1 tPA infused over 21.2 h ± 6.6. Both groups demonstrated similar initial and final systolic pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) (LBAT: 54.5 mm Hg ± 12.9 vs CDT: 54.5 mm Hg ± 16.3, P = .8, and LBAT: 42.5 mm Hg ± 14.1 vs CDT: 42.6 mm Hg ± 12.1, P = .8, respectively) and similar reductions in heart rate (LBAT: −5.4 beats/min ± 19.2 vs CDT: −9.6 beats/min ± 15.8, P = .4). CDT demonstrated a higher reduction in Miller score (−10.1 ± 3.9 vs −7.5 ± 3.8, P = .02). LBAT resulted in 1 minor hemorrhagic complication and 2 procedure-related mortalities, and CDT resulted in 1 minor and 1 major hemorrhagic complication.ConclusionsLBAT and CDT resulted in similar reductions of PAP and heart rate when used to treat acute PE. CDT reduced thrombus burden to a greater degree. Although hemorrhagic complications rates were not significantly different, the LBAT group demonstrated a higher rate of procedure-related mortality. Larger studies are needed to compare the safety of these techniques. 相似文献

MRI for short-term follow-up of acute pulmonary embolism. Assessment of thrombus appearance and pulmonary perfusion: a feasibility study 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Tha aim of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of MRI for short-term follow-up examinations in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE), and to assess temporal changes of pulmonary perfusion and thrombus characteristics that may be helpful in determining thrombus age. Thirty-three patients (15 female, 18 male, mean age 59.4 years) with acute PE were examined initially and 1 week later using both 16-row computed tomography (CT) and MRI with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), real-time MRI and magnetic resonance (MR) pulmonary perfusion imaging. MRA and MR pulmonary perfusion used contrast-enhanced 3D flash sequences, and real-time MRI used true fast imaging with steady-state precession sequences (repetition time/echo time 3.1/1.5, bandwidth 975 Hz, 256 matrix size, acquisition time 0.4 s per image) in three orthogonal planes. Follow-up examinations were feasible for all patients. Diagnosis of PE was concordant between MRI and CT in all patients. The signal intensity of embolic material increased after 1 week for real-time MRI [132±5 vs. 232±22 (standard error of the mean), p<0.001], but not significantly for MRA. MR pulmonary perfusion of areas affected by PE increased (area under the curve initially 9.6±7.4, at follow-up 40.7±7.6, p<0.001). A decreasing time-to-peak in normal lung areas (15.7±0.96 and 13.2±0.55, respectively, p<0.05) indicated systemic circulatory effects of PE, and subsiding pulmonary artery obstruction improved arterial inflow for the entire lung. Follow-up examinations of patients with acute PE are feasible with MRI, and a relation between thrombus appearance and thrombus age can be implied. 相似文献

This study was undertaken to determine prevalence, extent, and severity of focal airtrapping at expiratory high-resolution
CT, and to compare focal airtrapping with age, gender, pulmonary function tests, and blood gas analysis. Two-hundred seventeen
patients with and without pulmonary disease underwent paired inspiratory/expiratory high-resolution CT. Six scan pairs with
corresponding scan levels were visually assessed for focal – not diffuse – airtrapping using a four-point scale. Pulmonary
function tests and blood gas analysis were available for correlation in all patients (mean interval 5 days). Focal airtrapping
with lower lung predominance was observed in 80 % of patients. Twenty-six of 26 patients with restrictive lung function impairment
exhibited focal airtrapping (mean score 2.4), whereas only 72 of 98 (74 %) patients with obstruction did (mean score 1.5;
p < 0.05). Fifty-eight of 70 (83 %) patients with normal lung function (mean score 1.8) and 19 of 23 (83 %) patients with mixed
impairment (mean score 1.8) had focal airtrapping. Focal airtrapping showed negative correlations with static lung volumes
(–0.27 to –0.37; p < 0.001) in all patients and moderate positive correlations with dynamic parameters (0.3–0.4; p < 0.001) in patients with obstruction. No significant correlations were found with age, gender, and blood gas analysis. Visual
assessment of focal – not diffuse – airtrapping at expiratory high-resolution CT does not correlate with physiological evidence
of obstruction as derived from pulmonary function tests since the perception of focal airtrapping requires an adequate expiratory
increase in lung density.

The aim of our study was to compare the diagnostic value of helical CT vs that of ventilation–perfusion (V/Q) scintigraphy
as a first-line test in a diagnostic strategy in patients suspected of pulmonary embolism (PE). In a retrolective–prolective
cohort study we tested the accuracy of helical CT vs V/Q scintigraphy in 123 patients suspected of PE. A diagnostic panel
was asked to formulate the presumptive diagnosis on the presence or absence of PE, or of alternative disease by using two
competing diagnostic strategies. These consisted of the patient history, laboratory tests and chest X-ray (together baseline
tests) in combination with either helical CT or V/Q scintigraphy (CT strategy and V/Q strategy, respectively). The results
were compared with the final diagnosis in each patient that was established from various reference tests (which included V/Q
scintigraphy, pulmonary angiography and clinical follow-up). The CT and V/Q strategies were compared with regard to the accuracy
for PE, for alternative diseases and with regard to the proportion of conclusive diagnoses that were made. The CT strategy
was more accurate than the V/Q strategy for detecting or excluding PE. Sensitivity and specificity were 49 and 74 % for the
V/Q strategy and 75 and 90 % for the CT strategy, respectively (P = 0.01). The CT strategy provided a conclusive diagnosis in a significantly larger proportion of patients than the V/Q strategy,
92 vs 72 % (P < 0.001). The CT strategy detected more alternative diagnosis than the V/Q strategy, 93 vs 51 %, respectively (P < 0.001). Helical CT seems more useful than V/Q scintigraphy as a first-line test in patients suspected of PE.

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether pregnancy affects contrast enhancement within the pulmonary arteries during
computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA). This was a retrospective analysis of the CTPA examinations of 16 pregnant
and 16 non-pregnant female patients, suspected of having an acute pulmonary embolus (PE), during the same time period. Pulmonary
vascular enhancement was evaluated by measuring the CT density within the pulmonary arteries. In a blinded evaluation, subjective
grading of contrast enhancement within the pulmonary arteries was also performed. There was a significant difference in arterial
enhancement between the two groups, with pregnant patients having a mean pulmonary arterial density 112 HU less than patients
in the control group [mean attenuation of 259.79 ± 59.31 HU in pregnant patients versus 371.88 ± 60.63 HU in non-pregnant
patients (p < 0.001)]. The mean subjective pulmonary arterial enhancement score in the pregnant group was 8.19 ± 2.51 versus
13.69 ± 3.07 in the control group (p < 0.001). Pregnant women undergoing CTPA have significantly decreased pulmonary arterial
enhancement compared to non-pregnant patients, probably due to the increase in cardiac output in pregnancy. We may need to
reconsider how we perform CTPA in this group in order to ensure adequate opacification for diagnosis. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of coaxial approach in difficult-to-cross lesions in patients with
failed percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty by conventional over-the-wire exchange technique. Twelve stenoses in 10
patients (six women and four men; age range 19 ± 7 years) with uncontrolled hypertension were treated by this method. The
stenosis was caused by nonspecific aortoarteritis in 8 patients and fibromuscular dysplasia in 2 patients. It was ostial in
seven and post-ostial in five vessels. Conventional exchange technique was unsuccessful in all of them. All procedures were
done by femoral route. Technical success was seen in 11 (92 %), without complication. The stenosis improved from 90 ± 2.1
% (range 80–100 %) to 6 ± 7 % (range 0–20 %), blood pressure decreased from 198 ± 12.3 mm Hg (range 180–220 mm Hg)/130 ± 6.7
mm Hg (range 120–140 mm Hg) to 119 ± 5.7 mm Hg (range 110–130 mm Hg)/83 ± 3.9 mm Hg (range 80–90 mm Hg), and number of drug
treatments for hypertension fell from 3.6 ± 0.52 (range 3–4) to 1 ± 0.94 (range 0–3; p < 0.01). Percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty resulted in “cure” in 3 patients and “improvement” in 7 patients. Follow-up
period was 3–21 months (mean 6.4 months). No restenosis was detected. Coaxial approach is safe and effective in treating difficult-to-cross
lesions in which renal angioplasty by conventional exchange technique is unsuccessful.
