VTE
VTE: Venous thromboembolism – deep vein thrombosis (DVT) to pulmonary embolism (PE)
Note: most patients with PE have DVT…many patients with DVT have asymptomatic PE

The decrease in mean pul-monary artery systolic pressure was sustained frombaseline to 48 " 6 h, as estimated by transthoracicechocardiography (51.4 mm Hg vs. 36.9 mm Hg; meandifference, !14.4; p < 0.0001). Mean modified Millerangiographic obstruction index score decreasedfrom 22.5 at baseline to 15.8 at 48 " 6 h (meandifference, !6.6; p < 0.0001).
An analysis was conducted to determine whetherthere was any difference in the change in RV/LVdiameter ratio between patients who had a follow-up
CT scan performed with the 48 " 6-h window andthose who had a follow-up CT scan performed but itfell outside of the 48 " 6-h window. There was nodifference in the change in RV/LV diameter ratio inpatients who had a follow-up CT scan performedwithin the 48 " 6-h window and those who had afollow-up CT scan performed but it fell outside of the48 " 6-h window (mean percentage of change, !24%vs. !29%; p ¼ 0.29). Similarly, there was no differencein the change in pulmonary artery systolic pressure inpatients who had follow-up echocardiography per-formed within the 48 " 6-h window and thosewho had echocardiography performed outside of the48 " 6-h window (mean percentage of change,!14.4 mm Hg vs. !17.5 mm Hg; p ¼ 0.24).
A random-effects model analysis was performed toassess whether there was significant variance in thechange in RV/LV diameter ratio according to studysite. There was no indication of significant study sitevariance (p ¼ 0.24), and the 2-sided p value forcomparing the mean change in RV/LV diameter ratiowith the pre-specified control value of !0.2 remainedsignificant (p < 0.0001).
SAFETY OUTCOMES. Three patients died while hos-pitalized, and 1 patient died after hospital dischargewithin 30 days of the procedure (Table 5). One patientdied of massive PE before the procedure could becompleted; 1 patient changed her code status andelected to receive hospice care after multisystem or-gan failure developed during a prolonged admission;1 patient died of sepsis unrelated to the procedure;and 1 patient died of PE resulting in progressive res-piratory failure. The patient who died before theprocedure could be completed was a 61-year-oldwoman with diabetes, obesity, and recent infectiousillness who presented hemodynamically stable with

Summary
VTE diagnosis relies on clinical suspicion, exam, assessment of risk (D-dimer, Geneva or Wells score), imaging
VTE treatment depends on risk, including concurrent conditions, thrombus burden, and hemodynamics
NOACs can safely treat VTE with reduced bleeding, and will likely, IMHO, replace heparin/warfarin
