Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...

Pulmonary Embolism I: Introduction

Pulmonary embolism (PE) occurs when a thrombus, fat or air embolus, amniotic fluid, or tumor tissue blocks one or more pulmonary arteries. These blockages originate in the venous system or the right side of the heart.EtiologyPE primarily arises from deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and other hypercoagulable states, such as inherited thrombophilias. Additional etiological factors include venous stasis, commonly seen in obesity, and endothelial injury from surgery and trauma. Less common causes include...

Pulmonary Embolism I: Introduction

A blood clot, or thrombus, is a semi-solid mass composed of fibrin, platelets, and red blood cells. When it forms within a vessel, it can obstruct blood flow, known as thrombosis. If part of the clot detaches, it becomes an embolus that can travel and block distant vessels. When this occurs in the pulmonary arteries, it causes a condition known as pulmonary embolism (PE).Origin and ImpactMost often, the embolus originates from a thrombus in the deep veins of the lower limbs, a condition called...

Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care

Venous thrombosis requires effective prevention and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce potential complications.Prevention StrategiesHealthcare providers must prioritize preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) for all adult patients upon admission. Interventions depend on bleeding and thrombosis risk, medical history, current medications, diagnoses, planned procedures, and patient preferences. Patients on bed rest should change positions every two hours and, if not...

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Cardiology

Background:

  • Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are abnormal connections between pulmonary arteries and veins.
  • Treatment of PAVMs, especially central lesions, can be challenging due to high flow and risk of complications.
  • Endovascular embolization is a primary treatment modality for PAVMs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel embolization technique for safe and controllable exclusion of PAVMs.
  • To highlight the utility of this technique in managing complex PAVM cases.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the described embolization approach.

Main Methods:

  • Employing detachable coils for embolization.
  • Utilizing a single venous access site.
  • Implementing coaxial catheter guidance with 1 or 2 microcatheters for precise delivery.
  • Allowing pre-detachment coil repositioning.

Main Results:

  • The technique demonstrated safe and controllable exclusion of PAVMs.
  • Precise coil placement and repositioning were achieved prior to detachment.
  • The method proved particularly useful for central lesions with short feeding arteries.
  • Successful endovascular closure of challenging PAVM lesions was facilitated.

Conclusions:

  • This embolization technique provides a safe and effective method for treating PAVMs.
  • The approach enhances control and precision, reducing risks associated with coil migration and nontarget embolization.
  • It is a valuable option for complex PAVM cases, particularly those with high flow dynamics.
