Acute Pulmonary Thromboembolism

In this study, the association between the right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) and CHA2DS2-VASc (C: congestive heart failure or left ventricular systolic dysfunction, H: hypertension, A: age of ≥ 75 years, D: diabetes mellitus, S: previous stroke, V: vascular disease, A: age between 65 and 74 years, Sc: female gender) scores was investigated in patients with acute pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). The patients have been assigned to 3 subgroups as massive, submassive, and nonmassive PTE. The CHA2DS2-VASc scores were calculated for all of the patients, and the scores have been classified into 3 groups as the scores between 0 and 1, the scores of 2, and the scores of 3 and over. The independent predictors of the RVD were investigated by the univariate and multivariate regression analyses. The independent predictors of the RVD were determined to be the CHA2DS2-VASc scores ( P = .034), the systolic pulmonary artery pressure ( P < .001), the presence of acute deep vein thrombosis ( P = .007), high simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index ( P < .001), D-dimer ( P < .006), and the mean platelet volume ( P < .001). The CHA2DS2-VASc scores predicted the RVD with 70% sensitivity and 50% specificity as determined by the receiver operating characteristic analysis. The CHA2DS2-VASc score is an independent predictor of the RVD in patients with acute PTE.

Emergent Surgery

A 60-year-old woman was admitted due to massive bilateral pulmonary thromboembolism and entrapped thrombus in the patent foramen ovale and severe right ventricular dysfunction. The patient underwent on-pump/beating heart removal of the intracardiac thrombus and bilateral pulmonary embolectomy. The postoperative course was uneventful. The chosen surgical strategy seems to offer excellent outcome in patients with severe right ventricular dysfunction.
