[Correlation between findings of CT pulmonary angiography and outcome of diseases in patients with acute pulmonary embolism]

ABSTRACT

Background and Objectives: right ventricle failure and massive pulmonary artery occlusion are the main causes of mortality in patients with acute pulmonary embolism. Although pulmonary CT angiography could be helpful in these patients there are some controversies. In current study we want to investigate correlation between pulmonary artery obstruction score and right ventricular dysfunction with mortality rate in patients with acute pulmonary embolism
