She had not experienced any recent trauma, but she had started to take oral contraceptives 6 months prior to the onset of the symptoms. Her parents and sisters had been asymptomatic throughout their lives...

.... An associated protein C or protein S deficiency was present in 5 families (10 %). The most frequent clinical manifestations were superficial or deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism, but also thrombosis at an unusual site (cerebral, mesenteric or central retinal vein). A causal relationship...

Plasma levels of fibrinogen, PAI-1 and TAT were significantly higher...

... was the incidence of proximal deep-vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. Patients were assessed during the study period for development of proximal deep-vein thrombosis by compression sonography at days 1 and 10 and for pulmonary embolism by scintigraphy in symptomatic patients. Aim of the study was to demonstrate...

...J.D. Douketis; J.S. Ginsberg In the pregnant patient with suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE), accurate diagnosis is required to identify patients with DVT or PE who would benefit from appropriate anticoagulant therapy, and to exclude DVT and PE in the majority...

...Clive Kearon; Jack Hirsh Although clinical diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) is not sufficiently reliable to determine management, it is valuable for stratifying patients into high, intermediate, and low clinical suspicion of embolism. Clinical assessment can then be combined with lung scanning...

...Ulf Nyman A firm diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) to prevent over- or undertreatment requires an integrated use of ventilation-perfusion lung scintigraphy (V/Q scan), a recent chest X-ray, bilateral selective pulmonary angiography and venous studies. The V/Q scan should be reported in terms...

The data presented indicate that a single fixed daily subcutaneous injection of low-molecular-weight heparin provides a simple and an effective method of preventing death due to massive pulmonary embolism. Therefore emphasis should now be on the physicians and surgeons to protect all high-risk...
