Spontaneous fibrinolysis in pulmonary embolism

摘要: A B S T R C r This study correlated levels of activated fibrinolysis with the presence, extent, and rate resolution angiographically documented pulmonary emboli. Pulmonary emboli demonstrable by angiography were associated detectable fibrin split products in serum 24 25 patients. In absence increased products, large enough to be demonstrated found only 2 positive angiograms. Spontaneous could not concentration or persistence but did correlate well presence a reversible precipitating cause. Thrombophlebitis clinical evidence embolism was concentrations eight nine The one patient product had on lung scan silent embolism.
