Combined CT Venography and Pulmonary Angiography in Suspected Thromboembolic Disease

Abstract: CT venous phase imaging at the time of CT pulmonary angiography is comparable with venous sonography in the evaluation of femoropopliteal DVT. The iliac veins and vena cava, vessels poorly shown on sonography but sometimes the source of significant pulmonary emboli, are also depicted by CT venography.

“…[4][5][6] Recently, some centers have begun using computed tomography (CT) venography, with comparable results. [7][8][9] Although most emergency departments (EDs) are able to obtain VDUS during business hours, this often requires patients' being gone from the ED for several hours. 10 Furthermore, some EDs do not have access to such studies ''around the clock,'' leading to either admission for subsequent testing or presumptive anticoagulation and outpatient follow-up.…”

“…Discusión La TC helicoidal es hoy en día uno los mejores métodos diagnósticos para TEP, dado su gran exactitud en el diagnóstico de trombosis central (3) . A su vez, es el único método de diagnóstico que permite evaluar en un mismo tiempo los sistemas vascular pulmonar y venoso de las EEII.…”

“…En nuestro protocolo de TC para las EEII utilizamos cortes secuenciales de 10 mm de espesor; destacando que nuestros hallazgos fueron similares a estudios previos que utilizaron cortes de 5 u 8 mm (3,4,7) , por tanto es posible la disminución de radiación al paciente y el consiguiente ahorro en el uso del tubo de rayos X.…”
