25. Massive haemoptysis complicating prosthetic patch pulmonary embolism after atrial septal defect repair.
A case is presented of a 43 year old woman with massive haemotypsis secondary to non-thrombotic pulmonary embolism complicating atrial septal defect repair with a prosthetic patch. Non-thrombotic embolus must be considered in the differential diagnosis of massive haemoptysis.

26. Prognostic significance of right ventricular afterload stress detected by echocardiography in patients with clinically suspected pulmonary embolism.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prognostic value of echocardiographic findings in patients who present with symptoms suggestive of acute pulmonary embolism. DESIGN: 317 patients with clinically suspected pulmonary embolism were prospectively evaluated by echocardiography for the presence of right ventricular afterload stress and right heart or pulmonary artery

27. Diagnosis of fulminant pulmonary embolism by transthoracic echocardiography.
When pulmonary embolism is severe enough to produce acute cor pulmonale, transthoracic 2-dimensional echocardiography can promptly yield findings highly suggestive of this condition while ruling out competing diagnoses. We present a case diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography and successfully treated despite a prolonged refractory cardiac arrest.

28. Serial 3 orthogonal lead electrocardiographic abnormalities after pulmonary embolism. Computer assisted study.
The 3 orthogonal lead electrocardiogram has been evaluated with computer assisted interpretation in 20 patients with acute pulmonary embolism confirmed by pulmonary angiography. Initial 3-lead electrocardiographic abnormalities were found to be at least as helpful as the 12-lead electrocardiogram in supporting the clinical diagnosis. In addition, however, se

29. Emergent Surgery for Massive Pulmonary Embolism: on the Basis of Clinical Diagnosis
We treated a 52-year-old man for a large pleural effusion that had occurred after he fell from a ladder. Upon discharge from the hospital, the patient collapsed and was nonresponsive and hypotensive. We suspected the cause to be pulmonary embolism. When it became evident that this patient would die without emergent intervention, he was taken to surgery. A ma

32. Catheter-related right atrial thrombus and pulmonary embolism: A case report and systematic review of the literature
Central venous catheters (CVCs) are commonly used in clinical practice. One of the foremost complications associated with their use is the potential for symptomatic or asymptomatic thrombosis. CVC thrombosis, in turn, may not only result in vascular and catheter occlusion but also infection, pulmonary embolism, and formation of right heart thromboemboli. Thr

34. Acute massive pulmonary embolism: Clinical and haemodynamic findings in 23 patients studied by cardiac catheterization and pulmonary arteriography
Twenty-three patients are reported in whom a diagnosis of acute massive pulmonary embolism was confirmed by pulmonary arteriography. All patients had a history of less than 48 hours' duration and only two had previous cardiorespiratory disease. In such patients the haemodynamic abnormalities determined at catheterization are due to pulmonary embolism as an i

35. Hypoxemia in pulmonary embolism, a clinical study
The cause of hypoxemia was studied in 21 patients with no previous heart or lung disease shortly after an episode of acute pulmonary embolism. The diagnosis was based on pulmonary angiography demonstrating distinct vascular filling defects or “cutoffs.” It was found that virtually all of the hypoxemia in patients with previously normal heart and lungs co

36. Initial Clinical Experience with an Endoluminal Spiral Prosthesis for Treating Complicated Venous Thrombosis and Preventing Pulmonary Embolism
Fourteen patients with complicated venous thrombosis or recurrent pulmonary embolism were treated by implantation of an endoluminal spiral prosthesis subsequent to balloon angioplasty, surgical thrombectomy or embolectomy, a combination of these, or, in 2 cases, no other treatment. The patients were divided into 2 groups, based on their primary diagnosis and
