Abstract
Upper-extremity deep venous thrombosis is less common than lower-extremity deep venous thrombosis. However, upper-extremity deep venous thrombosis is associated with similar adverse consequences and is becoming more common in patients with complex medical conditions requiring central venous catheters...

Abstract
Our data suggest that, in hemodynamically stable patients with SPE, thrombolysis shows an earliest reduction of RVD and a more favorable trend in clinical outcome, so, it could merit consideration in SPE....

Abstract
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare disease characterized by the persistence of thromboemboli obstructing the pulmonary arteries as an organized tissue. The consequence is an increase in pulmonary vascular resistance resulting in pulmonary hypertension (PH) and progressiv...

Abstract
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is caused by obstruction of the large pulmonary arteries by acute and recurrent pulmonary emboli with subsequent organization of these blood clots. Because of a lack of clinically evident acute-pulmonary embolism episodes in >50% of patients, the...

Abstract
Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) presents with a broad clinical spectrum ranging from an even asymptomatic course to sudden cardiac death. Because APE is potentially life-threatening every suspicion of APE has to be clarified promptly by validated diagnostic algorithms. On the basis of the patients ha...
