Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

517
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

912
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 III: Nursing Management

483
A pulmonary embolism occurs when a thrombus, amniotic fluid, tumor tissue, fat, or air embolus blocks one or more pulmonary arteries. Effective nursing management and patient education are crucial for improving outcomes and preventing recurrence.Nursing management starts with obtaining a comprehensive patient history, particularly noting any history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Assess for clinical manifestations, including dyspnea, chest pain, crackles, heart murmurs, and signs of right-sided...

Treatment for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Endothelin Receptor Antagonists

494
Endothelins (ETs) are potent vasoactive peptides critical in the human body's various physiological and pathological processes. One of the most promising therapeutic strategies for treating pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) involves counteracting the effects of these endothelins using a class of drugs known as endothelin receptor antagonists.
ETs are synthesized through a complex sequence of enzymatic steps, primarily involving an enzyme referred to as endothelin-converting enzyme...

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

385
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are uncommon vascular anomalies.
  • While endovascular techniques offer successful treatment for many PAVMs, some lesions persist after initial interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical presentation, diagnostic imaging, and underlying mechanisms of persistent PAVMs.
  • To outline advanced percutaneous transcatheter embolotherapy techniques and embolic agents for managing persistent PAVMs.
  • To discuss the outcomes of interventions for persistent PAVMs.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical signs and symptoms of persistent PAVMs.
  • Illustration of various imaging modalities for PAVM diagnosis.
  • Description of mechanisms contributing to PAVM persistence.
  • Highlighting specific endovascular techniques and embolic agents for embolotherapy.
  • Discussion of interventional outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Persistent PAVMs present with specific clinical and imaging findings.
  • Understanding mechanisms of persistence guides treatment selection.
  • Advanced embolotherapy techniques and agents can effectively treat persistent PAVMs.
  • Interventional outcomes for persistent PAVMs vary but can be satisfactory.

Conclusions:

  • Persistent PAVMs necessitate a thorough understanding of their characteristics and potential failure mechanisms.
  • Advanced endovascular embolotherapy offers a viable treatment option for persistent PAVMs.
  • Further research into optimizing techniques and agents for PAVM treatment is warranted.
