A CT scan was performed and showed pulmonary embolism and confirmed the presence of right lung atelectasis due to the right main bronchus obstruction without any other finding supporting an underlying neoplastic process (Fig. 3). Her condition deteriorated rapidly with respiratory distress for which ...

CTEPH represents however a frequent cause of PH and occurs in up to 4% of patients after an acute pulmonary embolism [71, 72]. In the classification from the third World Symposium on PH, CTEPH was divided into 2 subgroups: proximal CTEPH and distal CTEPH, depending on the feasibility of ...

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are more frequently observed in morbidly obese patients. Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is a thrombolytic agent which dissolves the thrombus more rapidly than conventional heparin therapy and reduces the mortality and morbidity rates associated ...
