Home treatment versus early discharge for the outpatient management of acute pulmonary embolism: A non-interventional, post-hoc cohort analysis

Ibrahim Adda-Rezig et al.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness and safety of home treatment and recommended early discharge management in patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) at 3 months. The results showed that home treatment was as effective and safe as early discharge management in terms of primary outcomes.

Low concordance between CTPA and echocardiography in identification of right ventricular strain in PERT patients with acute pulmonary embolism

Mads Dam Lyhne et al.

Summary: This study analyzed data from acute pulmonary embolism cases and found significant discordance between CTPA and TTE in detecting right ventricular strain. Compared to TTE, CTPA has a high sensitivity but low specificity for identifying RVS.

Contrast reflux into the inferior vena cava on computer tomographic pulmonary angiography is a predictor of 24-hour and 30-day mortality in patients with acute pulmonary embolism

Nikolaos Bailis et al.

Summary: Subhepatic contrast reflux into IVC is a strong predictor of 24-hour and 30-day mortality in patients with acute PE. Other CTPA parameters, such as diameter of IVC and diameter of the pulmonary trunk, seem to have no relevant influence on predicting mortality.

Monotherapy Anticoagulation to Expedite Home Treatment of Patients Diagnosed With Venous Thromboembolism in the Emergency Department: A Pragmatic Effectiveness Trial

Jeffrey A. Kline et al.

Summary: This study confirms that home monotherapy treatment of low-risk patients with venous thrombosis or PE in the emergency department setting yields good results with low rates of bleeding and VTE recurrence, but there are still risks of adverse events and medication nonadherence.

Triaging acute pulmonary embolism for home treatment by Hestia or simplified PESI criteria: the HOME-PE randomized trial

Pierre-Marie Roy et al.

Summary: The study found that the strategies based on the Hestia rule and sPESI have similar safety and effectiveness in triaging patients with acute pulmonary embolism. With physician involvement, over a third of patients can be treated at home with a low incidence of complications.

Cecilia Becattini et al.

Summary: Assessing right ventricle dysfunction (RVD) or elevated troponin levels can improve identification of low-risk patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE), who may benefit from outpatient management or short hospital stay.
