Pulmonary micro-tumor emboli resulting in paradoxical emboli: a case report

Pulmonary Circulation, 2018
Pulmonary tumor embolism (PTE) is a rare manifestation of cancer. It is characterized by the presence of tumor cell emboli in the pulmonary arterioles and capillaries leading to an elevation of pulmonary vascular resistance.

Use of biomarkers or echocardiography in pulmonary embolism: the Swiss Venous Thromboembolism Registry [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Cardiac biomarkers and echocardiography for assessing right ventricular function are recommended to risk stratify patients with acute non-massive pulmonary embolism (PE), but it remains unclear if these tests are performed systematically in ...

Risk of decompression illness among 230 divers in relation to the presence and size of patent foramen ovale [PDF]

, 2017
Background The risk of developing decompression illness (DCI) in divers with a patent foramen ovale (PFO) has not been directly determined so far; neither has it been assessed in relation to the PFO's size.

Unmasking Atrial Septal Defect by Paradoxical Ventilator Response in a Patient With Pulmonary Embolism

Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is used in mechanical ventilation to improve Pao2. Rarely will increasing PEEP result in a reduction of Pao2. Whenever hypoxemia worsens in response to increased PEEP, one must consider the presence of a cardiac or
