Abstract Background: Evaluation of Pulmonary Embolism with Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography.
Methods: CT scan study of pulmonary artery was done on 50 patients from 24 April (2024) to 24 October (2024) over a period of the 6 months. All patients will undergo CT study of the CT Pulmonary Angiography. This scan was acquired on a Philips 128 slices CT scan machine in the caudocranial direction but we studied in different articles about the direction of scan is craniocaudal. All the cases will be evaluated by conventional CT technique with contrast using a 128 slice multidetector CT (Philips).
Result: In a study of 160 patients, 50 were diagnosed with pulmonary embolism (PE), predominantly males (74%) with a mean age of 44.76 years. Among these, 28% had chronic PE, while 72% had acute PE. Blood clots were the most common cause (32%), followed by air bubbles (24%), fat emboli (16%), and DVT (28%). PE locations varied, with segmental arteries and pulmonary arteries being the most affected. Accurate diagnosis of the PE cause and location is crucial for effective treatment and improving outcomes.
Conclusion: In summary, by studying the nature, causes, and sites of pulmonary embolisms, this study highlights their complexity. The increased prevalence in middle-aged and older adults—especially in men—highlights the significance of taking demographics into account. The requirement for accurate, customized treatment approaches to maximize patient outcomes is highlighted by the differences between acute and chronic PE, as well as the variety of embolism causes and sites.
