• In general if a pt does not have DVT/PE.. the D
Dimer will be normal

D-Dimer
• D Dimer is not specific so……………….. NOT useful as stand alone test
• Very Useful when coupled Wells Criteria or Geneva Score in ruling out PE
• A negative Dimer + Low Pre Test Probability by Wells or Geneva = Rules out PE in > 95% cases

nonspecific (ateletasis) C. An elevated BNP in the setting of PE is
assoc with increased mortality D. The Presence of a new RBBB on EKG
indicates RV strain

Consider TPA when…. Persistent hypotension
(SBP <90 mmHg or a drop in systolic blood pressure of ≥40 mmHg from baseline )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No Strong Evidence For Following |
• Severe hypoxemia • Large perfusion defect on ventilation-perfusion scans
• Extensive embolic burden on computed tomography (CT) • Right ventricular dysfunction
• Free-floating right atrial or ventricular thrombus • Patent foramen ovale

ACCP guidelines: PE • Thrombolytics - TPA 100mg x 2hrs - Urokinase 4400IU loading dose + 2200IU x 12hr - Streptokinas 250,000 IU loading + 100,000 IU x 24hr - No heparin while lytics running - Risk of intracranial bleeding = 1-2% - No improvement in short or long term mortality (based on 9 studies) - Does improve radiographic and hemodynamic parameters (after 1 week no difference bw TPA vs Heparin gtt)

ACCP Guidelines: PE
• Suction Extraction for pt’s unable to receive lytics
• Pulmonary Embolectomy - massive PE - hemodynamic instability - failed lytics - contraind to lytics

IVC Filter
IVC Filter
• Contraindication or Complication to anticoagulation
• Recurrent VTE despite anticoag

IVC Filter • Short Term IVC filter reduces risk of PE • Long term > 2 years…IVC filter Assoc with
Increased rate of DVT
• IVC Filter has no role as stand alone therapy unless Anticoag contraindicated
• Retrievable IVC filters (removed after 2m) may be most practical approach

IVC Filter Complications
• Insertion Site Hematoma • DVT at Insertion Site • Filter Migrations • Filter errosion • Filter embolization • IVC thrombosis

Summary • A low Probability clinical score and Negative D Dimer exclude PE
• A negative LE USS excludes DVT but in high probability PE patients it adds
little
• A CT angio (spiral/Helical) is test of choice for PE
• A VQ scan is test of choice in pregnancy in stable pts
• Thrombolytics have only 1 STRONG indication = hypotension from PE. It does not improve mortality
• IVC filters should onlt be used if there is a contraind to Anticoag or failed developed a clot while therapeutic on anticoag
• IVC filters prevent PE short and long term, but increases DVT rates long term
