Summary. Background: Multiple‐detectors computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) has a higher sensitivity for pulmonary embolism (PE) within the subsegmental pulmonary arteries as compared with single‐detector CTPA. Multiple‐detectors CTPA might increase the rate of subsegmental PE diagnosis. The clinical significance of subsegmental PE is unknown. We sought to summarize the proportion of subsegmental PE diagnosed with single‐ and multiple‐detectors CTPA and assess the safety of diagnostic strategies based on single‐ or multiple‐detectors CTPA to exclude PE. Patients and methods: A systematic literature search strategy was conducted using MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials. We selected 22 articles (20 prospective cohort studies and two randomized controlled trials) that included patients with suspected PE who underwent a CTPA and reported the rate of subsegmental PE. Two reviewers independently extracted data onto standardized forms. Results: The rate of subsegmental PE diagnosis was 4.7% [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.5–7.6] and 9.4 (95% CI: 5.5–14.2) in patients that underwent a single‐ and multiple‐detectors CTPA, respectively. The 3‐month thromboembolic risks in patients with suspected PE and who were left untreated based on a diagnostic algorithm including a negative CTPA was 0.9% (95% CI: 0.4–1.4) and 1.1% (95% CI: 0.7–1.4) for single‐ and multiple‐detectors CTPA, respectively. Conclusion: Multiple‐detectors CTPA seems to increase the proportion of patients diagnosed with subsegmental PE without lowering the 3‐month risk of thromboembolism suggesting that subsegmental PE may not be clinically relevant. 相似文献

Introduction : Several outcome studies have ruled out acute pulmonary embolism (PE) by normal computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA). We performed a meta-analysis in order to determine the safety of this strategy in a specific group of patients with a strict indication for CTPA, that is, 'likely' or 'high' clinical probability for PE, an elevated D-dimer concentration, or both. Methods : Studies that ruled out PE by normal CTPA, with or without subsequent normal bilateral compression ultrasonography (CUS), in patients with a strict indication for CTPA, were searched for in Medline, EMBASE, Web of Science and the Cochrane dataset. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of (fatal) venous thromboembolism (VTE) in a 3-month follow-up period. Results : Three studies were identified that excluded PE by CTPA alone (2020 patients), and three studies that performed additional CUS of the legs after normal CTPA (1069 patients). The pooled incidence of VTE at 3 months was 1.2% [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.8–1.8] based on a normal CTPA result as a sole test, and 1.1% (95% CI 0.6–2.0) based on normal CTPA and negative CUS findings, resulting in negative predictive values of 98.8% (95% CI 98.2–99.2) and 98.9% (95% CI 98.0–99.4), respectively. This compares favorably with the VTE failure rate after normal pulmonary angiography (1.7%, 95% CI 1.0–2.7). The risk of fatal PE did not differ between the diagnostic strategies (0.6% vs. 0.5%). Conclusion : A normal CTPA result alone can safely exclude PE in all patients in whom CTPA is required to rule out this disease. There is no need for additional ultrasonography to rule out VTE in these patients. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Spiral computed tomography (CT) has emerged as a potentially conclusive diagnostic test to exclude pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with non-high probability scintigraphy and is already widely used-sometimes as the sole primary diagnostic test in the diagnosis of suspected PE. Its true sensitivity and specificity has, however, not been evaluated previously in a large cohort of consecutive patients. METHODS: In a multicenter prospective study 627 consecutive patients with clinically suspected PE were studied. Patients with normal perfusion scintigraphy were excluded from further analysis. Single-detector spiral CT scanning and ventilation scintigraphy were then performed in all patients to diagnose PE, while pulmonary angiography was performed as the gold standard. The only exceptions were those patients who had both a high-probability VQ scan and a CT scan positive for PE: these patients were considered to have PE and did not undergo additional pulmonary angiography. All imaging tests were read by independent expert panels. RESULTS: Five hundred and seventeen patients were available for complete analysis. The prevalence of PE was 32%. Spiral CT correctly identified 88 of 128 patients with PE, and 92 of 109 patients without PE, for a sensitivity and specificity of 69%[95% confidence interval (CI) 63-75] and 84% (95% CI 80-89), respectively. The sensitivity of spiral CT was 86% (95% CI 80-92) for segmental or larger PE and 21% (95% CI 14-29) in the group of patients with subsegmental PE. CONCLUSION: The overall sensitivity of spiral CT for PE is too low to endorse its use as the sole test to exclude PE. This holds true even if one limits the discussion to patients with larger PE in segmental or larger pulmonary artery branches. We conclude that, in patients with clinically suspected PE and an abnormal perfusion scintigraphy, single-slice detector spiral CT is not sensitive enough to be used as the sole test to exclude PE. 相似文献

This study was undertaken to evaluate the use of computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) in patients with pulmonary
embolism (PE) who were followed in the emergency department (ED). The files and computer records of 850 patients older than
16 years of age who were seen in the Hacettepe University Hospital ED between April 10, 2001, and December 1, 2005, and who
required CTPA for PE prediagnosis and/or another diagnosis, were studied retrospectively. PE was identified by CTPA in 9.4%
of 416 women and in 5.8% of 434 men. A significant difference (P< .05) was noted in the women and men in whom PE was detected.
The mean age of the patients was 58.13±17.88 y (range, 16–100 y). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV),
and negative predictive value (NPV) for clinical susceptibility to PE among patients who underwent CTPA were assessed at 95.3%,
48.2%, 13%, and 99.2%, respectively. CTPA was done for different reasons: aortic aneurysm dissection (n=1), cough distinctive
diagnosis (n=1), dyspnea distinctive diagnosis (n=6), chest pain distinctive diagnosis (n=3), PE prediagnosis (n=51), and
other reasons (n=2). Also, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV were found to be 95.4%, 16.2%, 14.4%, and 96%, respectively,
for D-dimer. CTPA, which is accessible on a 24-h basis in the ED, is a valuable tool for the diagnosis of PE. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the frequency of contrast nephropathy after computed tomography angiography (CTA) to rule out pulmonary embolism (PE) in the emergency department (ED) setting. METHODS: We prospectively followed patients undergoing CTA for PE, while in the ED, for 45 days. Patients who refused follow-up or were receiving hemodialysis were excluded. Severe renal failure was defined as an increase in creatinine > or = 3.0 mg dL(-1) or a need for hemodialysis within the follow-up period. Patients were also followed for laboratory-defined contrast nephropathy, defined as an increase in creatinine of > 0.5 mg dL(-1) or > 25%, within seven days following CTA. RESULTS: A total of 1224 patients were followed, and 354 [29%, 95% confidence interval (CI): 26-32%] patients had paired (preCTA and post-CTA) creatinine measurements. None developed renal failure (0/1224; 0%, CI: 0-0.3%). 44 patients developed laboratory-defined contrast nephropathy, corresponding to an overall frequency of 4% (44/1224; CI: 3-5%) and 12% (44/354; 95% CI: 9-16%) among those with paired creatinine measurements. CONCLUSIONS: Following CTA for PE, the incidence of severe renal failure was very low, but the incidence of laboratory-defined contrast nephropathy (4% overall and 12% of those with paired measurements) was higher than expected. 相似文献

Summary. Introduction: Although the advent of multi‐detector row computed tomography (CT) has enabled better visualization of subsegmental pulmonary (SSP) arteries, SSP embolism is of uncertain clinical significance. We aimed at answering the following questions: Is spiral CT an accurate method to detect SSP embolism? How are subsegmental perfusion defects managed in outcome studies including spiral CT? What are the main characteristics and outcomes of patients in whom CT detects isolated subsegmental defects? Methods: We performed a Medline search on July 1, 2004, using the keywords ‘pulmonary embolism’ and ‘computed tomography’. We limited our search to English language prospective studies comparing CT to pulmonary angiography, and to prospective outcome studies including CT in a diagnostic strategy, with at least a 3‐month follow‐up. Results: Fourteen studies comparing CT to pulmonary angiography, and five prospective management studies using CT were retrieved. The sensitivity of single‐detector CT for detecting subsegmental defects compared with pulmonary angiography was low (25%). The proportion of isolated SSP images was significantly higher in management studies using multi‐detector CT (17 of 770 scans, 2.2%) compared with those using single‐detector CT (22 of 2232, 1.0%; P = 0.01). No straightforward attitude regarding anticoagulation therapy for isolated subsegmental defects emerged from the available literature. Finally, important clinical differences were found between patients having subsegmental and segmental or more proximal defects. Conclusions: These findings underline the uncertainty regarding the clinical significance of SSP embolism, and the management of patients with such findings. 相似文献

Spiral computed tomography (CT) contrast angiography is a promising imaging modality for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism but the negative predictive value of this test remains controversial. We performed a multi-center prospective cohort study to determine the safety of relying on a negative spiral CT contrast angiography scan to exclude pulmonary embolism. Patients presenting to the Emergency Departments of three tertiary care institutions with clinically suspected pulmonary embolism were potentially eligible for the study. Patients underwent a clinical evaluation to categorize pretest probability into low, moderate, and high categories, and had D-dimer testing performed. Patients at low pretest probability with normal D-dimer were considered to have pulmonary embolism excluded. The remaining patients underwent spiral CT contrast angiography scan of the pulmonary arterial circulation and bilateral venous ultrasound of the proximal leg veins. Patients who were confirmed to have pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis were treated with anticoagulant therapy. Patients in whom the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism was excluded did not receive anticoagulant therapy and were followed for a 3-month period for the development of venous thromboembolic complications. Eight hundred fifty-eight (858) patients were enrolled in this study. Three-hundred sixty-nine (369) patients had low pretest probability and negative D-dimer results and no further diagnostic tests were performed. None of these patients subsequently developed venous thromboembolic complications (0%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0% to 1.0%). The remaining 489 were referred for spiral CT contrast angiography scan and ultrasound. Sixty-seven patients were confirmed to have pulmonary embolism and an additional 15 patients with negative CT scans had proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) on ultrasound for a total prevalence of venous thromboembolism of 82/489 (16.8%). Two of 409 patients who had pulmonary embolism excluded in the initial evaluation phase developed proximal venous thromboembolism (0.5%; 95% CI 0% to 1.8%) in the 3-month follow-up period. These findings suggest that the combination of a negative spiral CT contrast angiography scan and normal venous ultrasound imaging safely excludes the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism in the Emergency Department setting. 相似文献

目的:比较通气?蛐灌注(V-P)显像和螺旋CT血管成像(SCTA)对肺栓塞(PE)诊断的临床价值。资料和方法:65例疑有PE的患者同时进行了V-P显像和SCTA检查,包括29例PE和36例非PE患者。以最终临床诊断为标准,分别评价两种显像对PE诊断的临床价值。结果:V-P显像对PE诊断的灵敏度、特异性和准确性分别为86.2%,72.2%和78.5%,SCTA分别为79.3%,91.7%和86.2%。非确定性诊断在V-P显像中占受检病例的16.9%,SCTA占4.6%。V-P显像的非确定性诊断多出现于既往有其它心肺疾患的患者,如将非确定性诊断病例去除,则V-P显像的各项诊断参数均较SCTA呈增高趋势。联合应用两种检查法,则诊断的灵敏度、特异性和准确性分别可提高到93.1%,94.4%和93.8%。结论:总体上SCTA对PE诊断的准确性优于V-P显像,应作为首选检查法;如果对受检病例作适当的选择,V-P显像的诊断价值仍有可能进一步提高;联合应用两种显像是目前最为理想的PE诊断方法。 相似文献

Rationale, aims and objective To investigate if a combination of Wells pre-test probability score and D-dimer testing could be used as a safe base for making clinical decisions on further investigations for patients with intermediate to high risks of pulmonary embolism (PE).
Methods One hundred and twenty patients with signs or symptoms of acute PE were investigated with pulmonary angiography (PA) or contrast enhanced computed tomography of the pulmonary arteries (CTPA), D-dimer testing (Tinaquant® ) and clinical scoring using the Wells pre-test probability score during their first 48 hours at the hospital. Patients were recruited consecutively from emergency departments at two teaching hospitals.
Results The cut-off value of 0.5 mg L−1 in D-dimer analysis is proved adequate with a negative predictive value (NPV) of 92% in this group of patients with intermediate to high risks. The combination of D-dimer testing and Wells score increases the NPV to 94%. The specificities of both tests were low.
Conclusion D-dimer and Wells pre-test probability scores are safe to rule out acute PE even in patients with at least an intermediate risk of PE, but the specificity is low. D-dimer testing had a higher NPV than Wells score and the combination improved the algorithm further. The cut-off level for a high risk of PE measured with the Wells score was four and it seems reasonable to use that cut-off level in future algorithms. In addition, both PA and CTPA can present false positive and negative results difficult to interpret. 相似文献

Summary. Recent reports suggest that physicians in non-ambulatory settings can use indirect CT venography (CTV) of the lower extremities immediately following spiral CT angiography (CTA) of the chest to identify patients with a negative CTA who have thromboembolic disease identified on CTV. We sought to determine the frequency of isolated deep venous thrombosis (DVT) discovered on CTV in emergency department (ED) patients with complaints suggestive of pulmonary embolism (PE) yet having a negative CTA. This study was conducted in a suburban and urban ED where patients with symptoms suspicious for PE were primarily evaluated with CTA and CTV. A total of 800 patients were studied, including 360 from the suburban ED and 440 from the urban ED. 88 (11%) patients were diagnosed with thromboembolic disease by CTA, or CTV, or both. Seventy-three patients had a CTA of the chest that was positive for PE, 42 (5.2%) of whom had evidence of both PE on CTA and DVT on CTV. Fifteen patients (2%, 95% CI = 1–3%) had a negative CTA and were subsequently found to have isolated DVT on CTV, all of whom received anticoagulation therapy. These data suggest that indirect CT venography of immediately following CT angiography of the chest significantly increased the frequency of diagnosed thromboembolic disease requiring anticoagulation in ED patients with suspected PE. 相似文献
