Pulmonary embolism, the second leading cause of death in cancer patients, is effectively treated with anticoagulants. In patients with cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT), the use of anticoagulants is associated with 10 to 15% of bleeding i…
Pulmonary thromboembolism is a frequent complication of cancer; in some cases, it is diagnosed occasionally during diagnostic examinations as part of the regular follow-up of the disease. Not all patients diagnosed with thromboembolism pre…
PURPOSE The two related purposes of the RE-TyPE study are: 1. To improve understanding of the early clinical course of intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism and its association with outcome and 2. To establish a platform for longitudin…
The aim will be to identify clinically relevant phenotypes in patients with acute pulmonary embolism. Hierarchical clustering methods combined with unsupervised learning (machine learning) will be used to obtain groups of patients who are…
The investigators aim to build a predictive tool for Adverse Outcome of Acute Pulmonary Embolism by Artificial Intelligence System Based on CT Pulmonary Angiography.
Ongoing registration of patients with venous thromboembolism treated by means of antithrombotic therapy, thrombolisys, open surgery, endovenous desobstruction and stenting.
Current management of intermediate- and high-risk pulmonary embolism is primarily based on curative subcutaneous or intravenous anticoagulation, with or without systemic fibrinolytic therapy or thrombectomy. Initial treatment with low-mole…
