Signs of Pulmonary Embolism

multiple subsegmental pulmonary emboli :: Article Creator Multiple Pulmonary Emboli Of Bone Cement After Kyphoplasty Figure a) Local leakage of bone cement into the prevertebral venous plexus (red arrow), retrograde flow via the trans pedicular drilled canal (green arrow). B) Cement embolus into a pulmonary artery, diameter 1 mm. We report the autopsy findings of a 75-year-old woman who died of an acute pulmonary arterial embolism secondary to deep venous thrombosis of the lower limbs. Computerized tomography had shown local leakage of cement from a kyphoplasty (T11, T12) performed three years earlier. Gross pathological examination of the lungs revealed needle-shaped cement emboli (Figure), and histopathological examination revealed multiple microemboli of bone cement, some of which were integrated into vessel walls. These findings demonstrate a rarely reported complication of this commonly performed surgical procedure. The clinical s...

explain pulmonary embolism :: Article Creator Blood Clots In Lungs: Before And After Pulmonary Embolism Medically reviewed by Susan Russell, MD A pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blood clot that has broken off a blood vessel, traveled to the lungs, and blocks a lung artery. It affects approximately 900,000 people in the United States each year. It is a potentially life-threatening medical emergency. This article will discuss how long it takes a blood clot to turn into a PE. It will also cover symptoms, treatments, and recovery.

DVTs are blood clots that form in large veins, generally the arms or legs. When these clots break off from the blood vessel wall, they move through the circulatory system. Blood clots can get caught as they travel through the vessels; when they get to the lungs, it causes a PE...

mesenteric blood clot :: Article Creator This Coughed-Up Blood Clot Shaped Like A Lung Tree Went Viral It isn't every day that a blood clot goes viral. Not viral in a virus-sense, but viral in getting many, many likes and shares on social media. But that's what happened with a picture of a blood clot that appeared in the New England Journal and the following Tweet: Yes, this whole tree-like blood clot emerged from a 36-year-old patient in one piece. The patient had received blood thinners after having a mechanical heart pump placed in his body. Unfortunately, this resulted in his bleeding into his lung airways and a clot forming inside his right bronchial tree. An "extreme" coughing fit, which may have been an understatement, then brought the entire clot pictured in the Tweet out through his mouth. What's striking about this picture is not just how such a large object emerged from his mouth but how the clot so accuratel...
