NEW ORLEANS -- Large-bore mechanical thrombectomy for high-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) was associated with fewer major adverse outcomes than other approaches, the FLAME study showed. Clot removal ...

New research from the FLASH registry (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03761173) shines a light on the effectiveness of large-bore mechanical thrombectomy in managing high-risk pulmonary embolism.

A 1000 ng/mL D-dimer threshold safely rules out pulmonary embolism in low-likelihood patients, reducing unnecessary chest imaging in emergency care.

July 5, 2011 — Women who sat for long periods of time every day were 2 to 3 times more likely to develop idiopathic pulmonary embolism than more active women, according to the results of a prospective ...

A pulmonary embolism occurs when part of a blood clot breaks off from a deep vein in the body, travels up to an artery or vein in your lungs, and causes a blockage. It is a type of venous ...

Catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) is associated with a lower risk for death and major bleeding complications than systemic thrombolysis for patients with intermediate- or high-risk pulmonary ...

A new study investigating D-dimer testing in patients who are at higher risk of pulmonary embolism (PE) has been published in the February issue of Academic Emergency Medicine (AEM), the peer-reviewed ...
