background: pregnancy causes a small increase in risk of venous thromboembolism (vte), but a large increase in concern upon presentation during cesarean section with symptoms of pulmonary embolism (pe). pulmonary embolism clinical manifestations during spinal anesthesia could be misleading. we have presented 2 interesting cases of pregnant women underwent spinal anesthesia for cesarean section ...

thrombophilia increases the incidence of pulmonary thrombosis significantly. various hereditary and acquired factors are known for thromboembolism. the hereditary factors are two common genetic autosomal mutations including factor v leidan mutation and prothrombin gene mutation. a descriptive- analytical design was conducted on 60 patients with thromboembolism who met the inclusion criteria. tw...

introduction: infective endocarditis (ie) causes serious complications in patients. congenital heart disease (chd) is an important underlying condition in children. case presentation: a 6-year-old girl with ventricular septal defect (vsd) was presented. echocardiography revealed large vegetation in right ventricular outflow tract near the pulmonary valve. the patient showed clinical symptoms of...

background thrombolytic therapy in patients with sub-massive pulmonary embolism (smpte) needs further assessment. objectives the current study aimed to assess a potential benefit of thrombolytic and non-thrombolytic therapy in patients with smpte. patients and methods one hundred-nineteen patients were enrolled with smpte from 2006 to 2010 in the tertiary care center of rajaie medical and resea...

a case of the budd chiary syndrome (bcs) in a 43-yr-old man with hydatid cyst (hc) in the liver is reported from imam ali hospital, kermanshah, western iran in 2016. this case was complicated by inferior vena cava (ivc) thrombosis, right atrial clot and pulmonary emboli. compression of ivc was the likely mechanism. abdominal ultrasonography revealed a huge hc located in segments near ivc and ca...

conclusions children with chd are at risk of severe complications with the involvement of other organs. long-term febrile illness should be taken seriously in these children. they need hospitalization and careful evaluation. case presentation a 6-year-old girl with a ventricular septal defect (vsd) was presented. echocardiography revealed large vegetation in the right ventricular outflow tract ...

In chronic pulmonary emboli, lung perfusion may be maintained by either recanalization of occluded pulmonary artery segments or collateral bronchial circulation. We present a case of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema superimposed on chronic pulmonary emboli, in which the occluded segments of lung were spared from pulmonary edema, but not from neutrophil infiltration. This case demonstrates that ch...

The occurrence of pulmonary emboli in 617 patients admitted to a respiratory intensive care unit was studied. Pulmonary emboli were found in 18 (27 percent) of 66 autopsies. Half of these pulmonary emboli were not diagnosed before death, despite persistent aggressive attempts to document pulmonary emboli. In this subpopulation of patients with respiratory failure, the usual clinical manifestati...

A 33-year-old female-a known case of Behcet's disease- was admitted to the hospital due to fever, dyspnea and hemoptysis. One week before admission, she had developed right leg swelling. The history suggested either deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary emboli or pulmonary artery vasculitis. Diagnostic tests were requested and the necessary treatment was started accordingly
