Catheter-directed thrombolysis reduced mortality versus anticoagulation alone in PE

For patients with acute pulmonary embolism, including those at intermediate risk, anticoagulation carried a lower risk of major bleeding than catheter-directed or systemic thrombolysis, a recent review also found.

Two studies offer insight on using age, d-dimer, algorithms for diagnosing PE

For patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE), a meta-analysis found that pretest probability-dependent d-dimer thresholds were the most efficient strategy, while a trial found that the YEARS rule with an age-adjusted d-dimer cutoff was noninferior to a conventional strategy.

Active strategy to diagnose PE in COPD inpatients did not improve outcomes

A Spanish trial found that using d-dimer testing and, if positive, a CT pulmonary angiogram to diagnose pulmonary embolism (PE) did not affect risk of death, clot, or readmission in patients hospitalized for exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Risk of re-infection, benefits of anticoagulation, cause of sex differences among COVID-19 research

Researchers published evidence of re-infection with SARS-CoV-2, anticoagulation was associated with halved inpatient mortality, recommendations were made on pulmonary embolism in COVID-19, and the authorization for use of remdesivir was expanded.
