1. Primary pyomyositis and disseminated septic pulmonary emboli: a reactivated staphylococcal infection?
Staphylococcal pyomyositis is a severe invasive soft tissue infection with high mortality rate that is increasingly being recognized even in temperate climates. In most cases predisposing factors are identified that include either source of skin penetration or/and impaired host immunocompetence. A case of primary, community-acquired pyomyositis of the left i

2. Erosion of inferior vena caval filter noted during robotic assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy
Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) filters are mechanical devices implanted to provide prophylaxis against pulmonary emboli in patients for whom standard anticoagulation is either inadequate or contraindicated. A 67-year-old female with a 10-year-old indwelling IVC filter underwent robotic assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for a right upper pole renal mass. Re

3. Multidetector computed tomography in the evaluation of the pulmonary embolism: use of the maximum intensity projection reconstructions / Tomografia computadorizada multidetectores na avaliação do tromboembolismo pulmonar: uso de reformatações em projeção de intensidade máxima
INTRODUCTION: Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) has been making possible the increase of the sensibility in the detection of the pulmonary embolism (PE). It is observed, however, that there is a substantial increase in the number of images and, consequently, in the time of analysis for the radiologist. A possible solution to this problem is accomplish

4. Avaliação da arteriopatia distal em pacientes com embolia pulmonar: estudo anátomo-patológico / Distal arteriopathy in patients with pulmonary emboli: anatomypathologic study
O tromboembolismo pulmonar causado por obstrução de ramos arteriais pulmonares por trombos originados de outras partes do corpo apresenta elevada incidência. Em 5% dos casos ocorre a cronificação do processo e manutenção ou agravamento da hipertensão pulmonar Duas hipóteses explicam a cronificação nos casos de embolia pulmonar: 1. manutenção do

5. Desenvolvimento e avaliação de filtro para veia cava inferior stent-filtro.
Implantation of an inferior cava vena filter is recommended for the prevention of pulmonary embolism when anticoagulation fails or is contra-indicated. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a new low-cost model of inferior cava vena filter. In reality in this case it is a combination of a inferior cava vena filter with a vascular stent. The mater

6. Spontaneous fibrinolysis in pulmonary embolism
This study correlated levels of activated fibrinolysis with the presence, extent, and rate of resolution of angiographically documented pulmonary emboli. Pulmonary emboli demonstrable by angiography were associated with detectable fibrin split products in the serum of 24 of 25 patients. In the absence of increased fibrin split products, pulmonary emboli larg

7. The lupus anticoagulant, pulmonary thromboembolism, and fatal pulmonary hypertension.
A patient with a circulating lupus anticoagulant in the absence of systemic lupus erythematosus developed recurrent deep venous thromboses and pulmonary emboli. Pulmonary emboli recurred despite prolonged oral anticoagulant therapy and resulted in fatal pulmonary arterial hypertension. Extended anticoagulant therapy alone may not prevent recurrent thromboemb

8. Pulmonary embolism secondary to anomalies of deep venous system of the leg.
Two cases of recurrent pulmonary emboli secondary to thrombosis in anomalies of the deep veins of the lower limb are presented. In both cases the source of emboli was not evident clinically, and it was only after venography that the venous anomalies were discovered, both being confined to one limb and amenable to surgical intervention. Such anomalies have no

9. Role of spiral volumetric computed tomographic scanning in the assessment of patients with clinical suspicion of pulmonary embolism and an abnormal ventilation/perfusion lung scan.
BACKGROUND: A study was carried out to evaluate the potential place of spiral volumetric computed tomography (SVCT) in the diagnostic strategy for pulmonary embolism. METHODS: In a prospective study 249 patients with clinical suspicion of pulmonary embolism were evaluated with various imaging techniques. In all patients a ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) scan was

10. Right-sided endomyocardial fibrosis with recurrent pulmonary emboli leading to irreversible pulmonary hypertension
A 26 year old Saudi man with features of both Loeffer's endocarditis and endomyocardial fibrosis presented with mild symptoms and pulmonary emboli. Echocardiographic examination showed obliteration of the right ventricular apex by an attached mass. The results of haemodynamic studies were somewhat abnormal and medical treatment was started. Despite anticoagu

11. Recurrent pulmonary embolism due to hydatid disease of heart. Study of 3 cases, one with intermittent tricuspid valve obstruction (atrial pseudomyxoma).
Three cases of pulmonary hypertension caused by hydatid emboli from the right side of the heart are described; cardiac catheterisation was performed in 2. One case was confirmed at operation and 2 at necropsy. The pulmonary emboli were caused by hydatid vesicles in all 3 cases and in none was there pulmonary thrombosis; free scolices were found in the pulmon

12. Delayed complications after myocardial contusion
A 45 year old farmer was kicked in the chest by a horse. In the days following the injury episodic breathlessness developed and he was admitted to hospital with right ventricular failure and pulmonary emboli. Echocardiography showed global right ventricular dysfunction but a right ventricular mural thrombus, the likely source of the pulmonary emboli, was not
