Clinical and imaging risk factors for the persistence of thromboembolism following acute pulmonary embolism.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Predicting the progression of acute pulmonary embolism to chronic pulmonary thromboembolism (CPTE) disease is essential to monitoring and improving the long-term prognosis of pulmonary embolism. We explored the risk factors for chronic persistence of thromboembolism after acute pulmonary embolism.

Methods

Cases with newly onset acute pulmonary embolism in the China-Japan Friendship Hospital from November 2016 to November 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical characteristics, serological examination results, and treatment strategies of acute pulmonary embolism patients were obtained through the electronic medical record system (Goodwill E-Health Info Co., Ltd.). Imaging parameters on computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) images at the onset of
