Abstract:Objective:
A small percentage of acute pulmonary thromboembolisms (PTE) persist as chronic fibrin clots, potentially leading to chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). A scoring system for evaluating the burden of acute PTE based on computed tomography pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) findings was tested for its association with CTEPH within one year.
Material and Methods:
In this retrospective cohort of 475 patients with a definitive diagnosis of acute PTE, th… Show more
