230 Diagnostic algorithms for acute deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism

perfusion imaging, there is a subsequent increase in sen­sitivity rivaling that of 16-MDCT angiography.90 e cur­rent role for MRI/MRA is as a backup when conventional diagnostic methods are unavailable or contraindicated due to dye allergy, renal insuciency, or concerns about radiation exposure.

MRI may also prove to be valu­able in the follow-up of acute PE in order to determine thrombus age.

Notably, recent studies have questioned the traditional thinking that gadolinium was less nephrotoxic than iodin­ated contrast. In fact, at angiographic concentrations, gado­linium has demonstrated equal or greater renal cell toxicity than iodinated contrast.32 ere is also mounting evidence that gadolinium administration may play a signicant role in the development of nephrogenic systemic brosis.

18.2.9 Other studies
Other modalities have been studied with the intention of using them for the diagnosis of PE, with varying levels of success. Although electrocardiogram (ECG) changes may be present, they are neither sensitive nor specic for PE.92 e changes may, however, indicate a way of stratifying risk, since patients with acute major PE and ECG changes have worse outcomes than those without the changes.93 Likewise, although arterial blood gas changes may be present, they are non-specic and therefore of limited diagnostic utility in the workup of PE.94 Lastly, although chest radiographs are routinely ordered in those experiencing respiratory distress, the results are most oen normal, even in the presence of PE. Chest radiographs may be useful for determining which patients should undergo s-CT versus VP scintigraphy, since abnormal chest radiographs increase the likelihood of inde­terminate-probability VP scans.
Once a PE has been conrmed, algorithms now exist to help risk-stratify patients into treatment groups, and/or test­ing groups for further evaluation. e process of patient risk stratication helps identify patients who will do well with standard therapy and who are likely to need more aggressive treatment. is also helps determine resource utilization. Some patients with small, incidental pulmonary emboli and some segmental pulmonary emboli are now being treated as outpatients, while other patients may require immediate interventional therapy, either operative or lytic. Two dier­ent scoring systems have been used to predict the severity of PE. ese include the Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) score and the Geneva score (Table 18.4).
In validation studies, a PESI score of less than 66 pre­dicts a 30-day mortality rate of less than 3%.98 Studies have recently been completed of large multinational randomized trials comparing outcomes and costs for inpatient manage­ment versus immediate discharge from ambulatory centers when patients had a PE diagnosed and a PESI score of less than 66 (Figures 18.8 through 18.11).
e use of ECG, biomarkers, echocardiography, and CT pulmonary angiogram ndings can be combined to pre­dict mortality in those with and without right ventricular

dysfunction. For patients with right ventricular dysfunc­tion, mortality is 15%; for those without, mortality is 5%. If there is elevated troponin, the mortality rate is greater than 43%, while those without have less than 15% mortality. In those with an elevated brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), the mortality risk is 47%, but less than 13% in those who lack elevated BNP. For those with an elevated n-terminal
prohormone of BNP (proBNP), mortality is 32%; if it is not elevated, mortality is less than 5%.

Experts can then bundle this stratication data in order to categorize patients into risk categories and thus deter­mine dierent treatment and monitoring needs (Table 18.5). Patients at low risk for PE may require heparin anticoagu­lation with either low-molecular-weight or unfractionated heparin. Patients at low risk for PE can be admitted to an unmonitored bed, and some of these patients may be dis­charged directly to home.
100 –109
Patients with moderate-risk PE should be hospitalized with telemetry monitoring and initial heparinization. Any patient with degradation or development of new or wors­ening signs should undergo repeat biomarker testing and echocardiography. e risk should be re-evaluated.
Patients with more severe and moderate pulmonary emboli or submassive pulmonary emboli may require more aggressive care and monitoring, with consideration of bri­nolytic therapy (Figure 18.12). e treatment of submassive embolism remains one of the most controversial subjects, and is currently the subject of much ongoing research.
110
High-risk patients may also be reported as severe, and major pulmonary emboli may occur in association with hypotension, and may require heparin anticoagulation, intensive care unit monitoring, and treatment escalation.
e most common relative contraindications for brino­lytic therapy include age over 80 years, advanced directives, a “do not resuscitate” order, trauma associated with syncope or seizure-like presentation, anemia or thrombocytopenia, current menstruation, recent childbirth, a remote or vague history of stroke, gastrointestinal bleeding, and metastatic carcinoma.

Guidelines 3.2.0 of the American Venous Forum on diagnostic algorithms for acute deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism
No. Guideline
3.2.1 In symptomatic outpatients with suspected acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT), we recommend to obtain first a clinical score and D-dimer level to select patients for further diagnostic studies.
3.2.2 D-dimer levels are inaccurate for diagnosing DVT in several clinical conditions, including recent surgery, pregnancy, malignancy, infection, elevated bilirubin, trauma, and heparin use. In these situations, alternative diagnostic modalities are recommended.
3.2.3 We recommend to repeat duplex scan or alternative imaging modality in the follow-up of patients with negative duplex studies and high clinical suspicion of DVT.
3.2.4 We suggest that a combination of clinical probability score and D-dimer level has similar utility in the diagnosis of DVT to a computed tomography scan.
3.2.5 We suggest judicious use of Gadolinium in patients with renal insufficiency because of the risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis.

19.1 INTRODUCTION
Despite recent advances in medical and interventional therapy for venous thromboembolism (VTE), it continues to be a major cause of in-hospital deaths and emergency room visits. Historically, VTE was treated with unfrac­tionated heparin (UFH) or low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), commonly as a bridge to anticoagulation with a vitamin K antagonist (VKA). In the last several years, the available therapies for the treatment of VTE have broad­ened to include new classes of oral and injectable antico­agulants, new thrombolysis devices, and new vena cava lters. roughout this chapter, we provide an overview of the basic principles of the treatment of VTE, from initial presentation to determining optimal therapy and dura­tion of anticoagulation to aggressive therapies and special circumstances.
19.2 PRINCIPLES OF THE TREATMENT OFVTE
e objectives of treatment in patients with VTE are to prevent death from pulmonary embolism (PE), to prevent recurrent VTE, and to prevent the post-thrombotic syn­drome (PTS). Traditionally, anticoagulant drugs such as heparin, LMWH, and warfarin constitute the mainstay of the initial treatment of venous thrombosis, eectively decreasing thrombus extension and subsequent emboli­zation. New oral factor Xa inhibitors (rivaroxaban, apixa­ban, and edoxaban) and a thrombin inhibitor (dabigatran) have recently been approved for the treatment of VTE. For

patients with iliofemoral thrombosis, catheter-directed thrombolysis has been shown to decrease the risk of PTS. In patients who cannot be anticoagulated, such as those with intracranial hemorrhage or major trauma, inferior vena cava (IVC) lters signicantly reduce the risk of death from PE. e prevention of PTS remains a vexing problem, with no available medical therapy. Some data suggest that the use of LMWH, graduated compression stockings, and restoration of venous ow in massive obstructing iliofemo­ral thrombosis can decrease the risk of PTS, although none reliably prevent it.
19.3 STANDARD INITIAL THERAPY
Immediate anticoagulation is paramount in the initial treatment of the patient presenting with VTE (Figure 19.1).
Systemic anticoagulation decreases thrombus extension, PE, and recurrence. Failure to achieve therapeutic antico­agulation within 24 hours increases the risk of recurrence. erefore, it is oen necessary to empirically anticoagulate the patient with presumed PE while waiting for diagnos­tic testing. is is infrequently indicated in the patient with suspected deep venous thrombosis (DVT), as bedside duplex ultrasound testing is rapid and nearly universally available. e risks, benets, and costs of anticoagulation should be weighed carefully against the patient’s clini­cal probability of having a VTE while waiting for testing. When using validated clinical prediction scores for esti­mating risk of DVT or PE, 24 hours for low-risk patients and up to 4 hours for inter­mediate-risk patients for objective imaging data prior to
