Abstract

Background: To determine the anatomic distribution of emboli with spiral computed tomography in acute pulmonary embolism. Methods: Forty-five patients who suspected pulmonary embolism because of dyspnea and right heart failure symptoms were included in the study. Bilateral lower extremities venous system color Doppler ultrasonographic examination and spiral thorax CT scans were performed to all patients. Presence of deep venous thrombosis and anatomic distribution of pulmonary embolus were determined. Results: Twenty-nine pulmonary emboli detected in 21 of 45 patients. Five (23.8%) of 21 patients also had deep venous thrombosis. The emboli distribution was 2 (6.9%) at pulmonary trunk, 9 (31%) at right main pulmonary artery, 6 (20.7%) at left main pulmonary artery, 7 (24.1%) at right lower lobar artery, 3 (10.3%) at right upper lobar artery, 2 (6.9%) at right upper lob segment artery. The form of emboli was total in 13 (44.8%), and was subtotal in 16 (55.2%). Conclusion: Spiral CT is a succesful modality in determination of pulmonary embolism at life theareting proximal main pulmonary vasculature. And it should be applied to all patients whoes bilateral lower extremity color doppler ultrasonography exam is negative but clinically suspected pulmonary embolism.

Özet

Amaç: Akut pulmoner emboli tanısında spiral bilgisayarlı tomografi ile anatomik lokalizasyonların dağılımını belirlemek. Materyal ve Metod: Solunum sıkıntısı ve sağ kalp yetmezliği bulguları nedeniyle pulmoner emboli düşünülen ve bilateral alt ekstremite venöz sistem renkli Doppler ultrasonografi incelemesi ile spiral teknikle toraks bilgisayarlı tomografi tetkiki yapılan 45 olgu çalışma kapsamına alınarak prospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Toraks bilgisayarlı tomografi incelemeleri, renkli Doppler ultrasonografi sonuçları göz önüne alınmadan tüm hastalarda gerçekleştirildi. Pulmoner embolilerin lokalizasyonları ve derin venöz sistemde trombüs varlığı değirlendirildi. Bulgular: Kırkbeş olgudan 21'inde 29 pulmoner emboli saptandı. Embolilerin 2'si (%6.9) pulmoner trunkusta, 9'u (%31) sağ ana pulmoner arterde, 6'sı (%20.7) sol ana pulmoner arterde, 7'si (%24.1) sağ alt lober arterde, 3'ü (%10.3) sağ üst lober arterde, 2'si (%6.9) sağ üst lob segment arterlerinde lokalizeydi. Saptanan embolilerin 13'ü (%44.8) total, 16'sı (%55.2) subtotal formdaydı. Renkli Doppler ultrasonografik incelemede olguların 5'inde (%23.8) derin ven trombozu mevcuttu. Sonuç: Spiral bilgisayarlı tomografi hayati önem taşıyan proksimal pulmoner ana vasküler yapılarda lokalize embolilerin belirlenmesinde başarılı bir yöntem olup, alt ekstremite venöz sistem renkli doppler ultrasonografi incelemesi negatif olan olgulara da uygulanmalıdır.
