PULMONARY EMBOLISM • DEEP VENOUS THROMBOSIS • TERRENCE C. DEMOS, MD • DEPARTMENT OF RADIOLOGY
PE AND DVT • HISTORY AND PHYSICAL EXAMINATION • LABORATORY TESTS • CHEST RADIOGRAPHS • NUCLEAR MEDICINE LUNG SCAN • COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY • SONOGRAPHY • ANGIOGRAPHY • MAGNETIC RESONANCE
PULMONARY EMBOLUSVERSUSLUNG INFARCT • EMBOLUS RESULTS IN HEMORRHAGE • 90% DO NOT RESULT IN INFARCTION AND THE LUNG CLEARS BLOOD WITH NO RESIDUAL EFFECT • 10% HAVE A PERMANENT RESIDUAL DEFORMITY INDICATING INFARCTION
EVOLUTION OF INFARCT • EARLY- ILL DEFINED LUNG CONSOLIDATION • HEMORRHAGE AND EDEMA • LATER • BETTER DEFINED • PLEURAL BASED • TRUNCATED CONE SHAPE • MELTING SIGN • RETAINS ORIGINAL SHAPE WHILE GETTING SMALLER • OUTCOME • BECOMES LINE OPACITY, THICK PLEURA IN 3-6 WEEKS
HISTORY • CLASSIC (MASSIVE PE) • PLEURITIC PAIN, DYSPNEA, HEMOPTYSIS (20%) • TACHYPNEA, COUGH, APPREHENSION, FEVER, SYNCOPE • 1990 PIOPED STUDY • FREQUENCY OF SYMPTOMS SAME WHEN (+) OR (-) FOR PE
RISK FACTORS • LOWER EXTREMITY VENOUS STASIS • IMMOBILIZATION • POST OPERATIVE PATIENTS • MALIGNANCY • HEART DISEASE • ESTROGEN CONTAINING COMPOUNDS • CONGENITAL COAGULATION ABNORMALITIES • PROTEIN S DEFICIENCY • PROTEIN C DEFICIENCY • LEIDEN FACTOR • ANTITHROMBIN III DEFICIENCY • ANTIPHOSPHOLIPED SYNDROME
LABORATORY TESTS • LDH, SERUM BILIRUBIN, SGOT • (+) 20% OF PATIENTS WITH PE • FEVER, ELEVATED WBC • 25%PE & PRE-EXISTING HEART/ LUNG DISEASEpO2>80mm Hg • 10% HAD PE AND NORMAL A-a O2 GRADIENT (PIOPED STUDY)
D-DIMER • SEMIQUANTITATIVE LATEX AGGLUTINATION (LA) • 98 PATIENTS WITH SUSPECTED PE STUDIED (D-DIMER, VQ SCAN, ANGIO) • 8/98 PATIENTS WITH NORMAL D-DIMER HAD PE ON ANGIOGRAMS • ENZYME-LINKED IMMUNOSORBENT ASSAY (ELISA) • NEGATIVE PREDICTIVE VALUES 91-98% • CONCLUSION LA D-DIMER SHOULD NOT BE USED TO EVALUATE PATIENTS WITH SUSPECTED PE. • ARCH INTERN MED 1999;159:1569
CHEST RADIOGRAPH • ABNORMAL IN 85% OF PATIENTS • FINDING MOST OFTEN NONSPECIFIC • PLEURAL BASED OPACITY • PLEURAL EFFUSION • LUNG CONSOLIDATION • LOSS OF LUNG VOLUME • RADIOGRAPHS OF LIMITED VALUE • MAJOR IMPORTANCE IS TO IDENTIFY OTHER DISEASE MIMICING PE….. AND TO CORRELATE WITH V/Q SCAN
CHEST RADIOGRAPH • THESE FINDINGS SUGGEST PE, BUT ARE UNCOMMON • ENLARGED HILUS • DUE TO CLOT IN VESSEL • WESTERMARK SIGN • HYPERLUCENCY AND DECREASED VESSELS • PLEURAL BASED ROUNDED OPACITY • HAMPTON’S HUMP
PULMONARY EMBOLISM • VENTILATION PERFUSION LUNG SCAN
HIGH PROBABILITY (13%) INTERMEDIATE (39%) LOW PROBABILITY (34%) NORMAL (14%) PE > 80% *PE 96% *HIGH CLINICAL SUSPICION PE 20-79% PE 0-19% *PE 4% *LOW CLINICAL SUSPICION PE < 2% V/Q LUNG SCANSENSITIVE BUT NONSPECIFICV/Q MISMATCHES(NONE TO 2 0R MORE LARGE SEGMENTAL)
IMAGING PLUS CLINICAL PROBABILITY • COMBINE HIGH OR LOW CLINICAL PROBABILITYWITH • HIGH OR LOW PROBABILITY V/Q SCAN • TO • INCREASE THE ACCURACY OF V/Q SCAN AND • DECREASE INDETERMINANT V/Q SCANS • PIOPED STUDY JAMA 1990;263:2753-9
CENTRAL, LOBAR, SEGMENTAL VESSELS SENSITIVITY > 90% SPECIFICITY > 90% INDETERMINENT 5% SUBSEGMENTAL SENSITIVITY (L0W) CT ANGIOGRAPHY
CT ANGIOGRAPHY • HELICAL (GE LightSpeed) CT • 1.25mm collimation, 6:1pitch, 4cc IVcontrast/sec • DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA • PARTIAL OR COMPLETE FILLING DEFECTS • ( REFORMATTED IMAGES )
CT ANGIOGRAPHY • PITFALLS • POOR VASCULAR ENHANCEMENT • BREATHING AND STREAK ARTIFACTS • DECREASE IN OVERALL ATTENUATION BETWEEN IMAGES • HILAR LYMPH NODES • SITE OF BIFURCATION OF ARTERIES • OBLIQUE VESSELS • PULMONARY VEINS • FLUID FILLED BRONCHI
PULMONARY EMBOLILUNG PARENCHYMAL AND PLEURAL ABNORMALITIES • MOSAIC PATTERN • LARGER VESSELS IN HIGH ATTENUATION AREAS • HEMORRHAGE • GROUND GLASS OPACITY • CONSOLIDATION • PLEURAL BASED • TRIANGULAR TOWARD HILUS • PLEURAL EFFUSION
