BACKGROUND Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is a common clinical problem that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Estimates of PTE mortality and predictions of PTE trends have varied widely. These estimates play a role in the planning of national health strategies. The analysis of pulmonary embolism mortality trends and comorbidities may elucidate how well we treat and preven...

We report a case of a young individual who presented with fever and swelling of right upper and lower limbs for 3 weeks. Subsequently he developed shortness of breath and decreased urine output and had to be mechanically ventilated. Ultrasound screening of the lower limb had shown deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and thus the diagnosis of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) seemed probable. However the...

To explore the correlation between platelet endothelial aggregation receptor-1 (PEAR1) genetic polymorphism and pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE).Variant loci of the PEAR1 gene were screened in a PTE pedigree, followed by verification using Sanger sequencing. These polymorphic loci were validated in 101 PTE patients and 132 matched normal patients using MassARRAY single nucleotide polymorphism (S...

This paper describe the case of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) in pregnancy diagnosed by angio CT The clinical diagnosis of PTE in normal population is difficult. In pregnancy is even more complicated, because physiologic changes of pregnancy can mimic signs and symptoms of PTE. Our patient presented dyspnoea, breathing effort and cyanosis of the mouth at admission. In the check-up there was a...

This study aims to investigate the long-term prognosis and the affecting factors towards the patients with acute pulmonary thromboembolism (APTE). The clinical data of 903 PTE patients, diagnosed by the spiral CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) or lung ventilation perfusion scanning when hospitalized in the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 1998 to December 2013, were collec...

Objective: Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is a condition characterized by severe cardiopulmonary injury. There need for cheap and reliable biochemical marker, which also easily rapidly accessible, with high specificity sensitivity in the diagnosis of PTE. The PDGF ligand receptor system plays role development pulmonary hypertension contributes to thickening vascular wall increasing tension. In...

On March 30, 2021, a 53-year-old man was hospitalized, complaining of breath shortness, chest pain, and pain in his right leg from 2 weeks ago when he went mountain climbing. His symptoms did not improve, shortness worsened. Therefore, to hospital hospitalized investigate the possibility Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Pulmonary Thromboembolism (PTE) further. At admission, O2 sat 91, followed by Res...

To the authors' knowledge, no comparative studies exist of venous thromboembolism (VTE) based on different pathologies, surgical procedures, or spinal levels after spinal surgery. The authors prospectively investigated VTE after elective spinal surgery. The study comprised 4 patient groups. Group 1 comprised 79 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis treated with posterior decompression without fu...

PURPOSE Previous studies have revealed that predictors and risk factors of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) are malignancy, immobilization, diabetes, and obesity in the postoperative patients. However, in patients undergoing colorectal cancer, studies of PTE have not been enough. Thus, we investigated the risk factors of PTE related to colorectal surgery. METHODS From January 2009 to October 2...

Dear Editor, Intravascular thrombosis is a serious problem that sometimes causes death due to acute pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). There are a few reports on the association between uterine myomas and venous thromboembolic diseases1,2 and ovarian vein thrombosis after cesarean delivery,3 but reports of uterine vein thrombosis without complications are rare.4,5 We describe an uncommon case of ...
