Abstract
High-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) refers to a large embolic burden causing right ventricular failure and hemodynamic instability. It accounts for approximately 5% of all cases of PE but contributes significantly to overall PE mortality. Systemic thrombolysis is the first-line revascularization therapy in high-risk PE. Surgical embolectomy or catheter-directed therapy is recommended in patients with an absolute contraindication to systemic thrombolysis. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides respiratory and hemodynamic support for the most critically ill PE patients with refractory cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. The complex management of these individuals requires urgent yet coordinated multidisciplinary care. In light of existing evidence regarding the utility of ECMO in the management of high-risk PE patients, a number of possible indications for ECMO utilization have been suggested in the literature. Specifically, in patients with refractory cardiac arrest, resuscitated cardiac arrest, or refractory shock, including in cases of failed thrombolysis, venoarterial ECMO (VA-ECMO) should be considered, either as a bridge to percutaneous or surgical embolectomy or as a bridge to recovery after surgical embolectomy. We review here the current evidence on the use of ECMO as part of the management strategy for the highest-risk presentations of PE and summarize the latest data in this indication.

Age-Related Differences in the Presentation, Management, and Clinical Outcomes of 100,000 Patients With Venous Thromboembolism in the RIETE Registry. Arch Bronconeumol 2024; 60:143-152. [PMID: 38220587 DOI: 10.1016/j.arbres.2023.12.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although older adults represent a significant proportion of patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE), the data on the impact of age-related differences in the clinical presentation, management, and outcomes of VTE are scarce. METHODS We analyzed data from the RIETE registry database, an ongoing global observational registry of patients with objectively confirmed VTE, to compare patient characteristics, clinical presentation, treatments, and outcomes between elderly (≥70 years) vs. non-elderly (<70 years) patients. RESULTS From January 2001 to March 2021, 100,000 adult patients were enrolled in RIETE. Elderly patients (47.9%) were more frequently women (58.2% vs. 43.5%), more likely had unprovoked VTE (50.5% vs. 45.1%) and most often presented with severe renal failure (10.2% vs. 1.2%) and acute pulmonary embolism (PE) (vs. deep vein thrombosis) (54.3% vs. 44.5%) compared to non-elderly patients (p<0.001 for all comparisons). For the PE subgroup, elderly patients more frequently had non-low risk PE (78.9% vs. 50.7%; p<0.001), respiratory failure (33.9% vs. 21.8%; p<0.001) and myocardial injury (40.0% vs. 26.2%; p<0.001) compared to non-elderly patients. Thrombolysis (0.9% vs. 1.7%; p<0.001) and direct oral anticoagulants (8.8% vs. 11.8%; p<0.001) were less frequently administered to elderly patients. Elderly patients showed a significantly higher 30-day all-cause mortality (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.36, 95%CI: 1.22-1.52) and major bleeding (OR, 2.08; 95%CI, 1.85-2.33), but a lower risk of 30-day VTE recurrences (OR, 0.62, 95%CI, 0.54-0.71). CONCLUSIONS Compared with non-elderly patients, elderly patients had a different VTE clinical profile. Advanced therapies were less frequently used in older patients. Age was an independent predictor of mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND /Objective: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) may change from the acute to stable phase of some cardiovascular disorders, but little is known whether these dynamic changes also exist in pulmonary embolism (PE). This study aimed to analyze the changes in the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) from the acute to stable phase of PE as well as the factors associated. PATIENTS/METHODS We conducted a prospective, longitudinal and multicenter study of consecutive adults requiring hospitalization for non-hypotensive acute PE, with a protocol including clinical, imaging (transthoracic echocardiography [TTE] and computed tomography), blood tests and a sleep study within 48 h of diagnosis of PE. After 3 months of follow-up, the sleep study was repeated. Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction was defined according to TTE criteria. RESULTS One hundred and eleven patients (mean age [SD]: 63 [15] years; body mass index: 28.4 [4.7] kg/m2) were included. The initial AHI was 24.4 (21.8) events/h (AHI≥5: 82.8 %; AHI≥30: 33.3 %). Seventy-seven patients (69.4 %) had RV dysfunction. In the overall cohort, the AHI decreased by 8.7 events/h from the acute to stable phase (24.4/h vs. 15.7/h; p=0.013). Patients with RV dysfunction showed a greater decrease in AHI (mean decrease 12.3/h vs. 0.43/h). In the multivariable analysis a drop of an AHI≥5 events/hour was independently associated with the presence of initial RV dysfunction (hazard ratio 3.9; 95%CI 1.3 to 12.1). CONCLUSIONS In hemodynamically stable patients with acute PE, there is a transient but clinically significant decrease in the AHI from the acute to stable phase, particularly when initially presenting with RV dysfunction.

Abstract
Consensus statements have proposed the use of the National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2) to identify stable patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) and an intermediate-high risk of adverse outcomes. We aimed to externally validate NEWS2 and compare it to another predictive score (Bova). Using NEWS2 (cutoff ≥5 and ≥7) and the Bova score (cutoff >4), we classified patients as intermediate-high risk (vs. non-intermediate-high risk), and we compared the test characteristics of these risk classification tools for a complicated course within 30 days after PE diagnosis. We also assessed the validity of NEWS2 for predicting a complicated course by adding the results of echocardiography and troponin testing to the model. Of the 848 enrolled patients, the NEWS2 score ≥5 classified 471 (55.5%) and the Bova score classified 37 (4.4%) as intermediate-high risk. NEWS2 had a significantly lower specificity for a 30-day complicated course than Bova (45.4 vs. 96.3%, respectively; p < 0.001). Using the higher score threshold (≥7), the NEWS2 classified 99 (11.7%) as intermediate-high risk, and the specificity was 88.9% (difference with Bova, 7.4%; p < 0.001). The proportion of patients with intermediate-high risk PE was 2.4% for the combination of a positive troponin testing and echocardiographic right ventricle dysfunction and a positive NEWS2 (score ≥7), while the specificity was 97.8% (difference with Bova, 1.5%; p = 0.07). Bova outperforms NEWS2 for predicting a complicated course among stable patients with PE. Addition of troponin testing and echocardiography improved the specificity of NEWS2, although it was not superior to Bova. CLINICALTRIALS.GOV NUMBER: : NCT02238639.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Identification of patients with acute symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE) who are at low-risk for short-term complications to warrant outpatient care lacks clarity. METHOD In order to identify patients at low-risk for 30-day all-cause and PE-related mortality, we used a cohort of haemodynamically stable patients from the RIETE registry to compare the false-negative rate of four strategies: the simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (sPESI); a modified (i.e., heart rate cutoff of 100beats/min) sPESI; and a combination of the original and the modified sPESI with computed tomography (CT)-assessed right ventricle (RV)/left ventricle (LV) ratio. RESULTS Overall, 137 of 3117 patients with acute PE (4.4%) died during the first month. Of these, 41 (1.3%) died from PE, and 96 (3.1%) died from other causes. The proportion of patients categorized as having low-risk was highest with the sPESI and lowest with the combination of a modified sPESI and CT-assessed RV/LV ratio (32.5% versus 16.5%; P<0.001). However, among patients identified as low-risk, the 30-day mortality rate was lowest with the combination of a modified sPESI and CT-assessed RV/LV ratio and highest with the sPESI (0.4% versus 1.0%; P=0.03). The 30-day PE-related mortality rates for patients designated as low-risk by the sPESI, the modified sPESI, and the combination of the original and modified sPESI with CT-assessed RV/LV ratio were 0.7%, 0.4%, 0.7%, and 0.2%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The combination of a negative modified sPESI with CT-assessed RV/LV ratio ≤1 identifies patients with acute PE who are at very low-risk for short-term mortality.

Abstract
Background Clinical practice guidelines recommend that patients with incidental venous thromboembolism (VTE) receive the same anticoagulant therapy as those with symptomatic VTE. We aimed to compare the rate of complications between cancer patients with incidental and symptomatic VTE through a long-term follow-up cohort. Methods We performed a post hoc analysis of prospective studies of cancer patients with VTE between 2008 and 2019, with the primary outcome of rates of recurrent VTE and clinically relevant bleeding (CRB) in incidental and symptomatic VTE groups. Results In total, 796 patients were included, of which 42.8% had incidental VTE. No significant differences were noted in the rate of recurrent VTE (0.4 per 100 patients/month vs. 0.5 per 100 patients/month; p = 0.313) and in the rate of CRB (0.6 per 100 patients/month vs. 0.5 per 100 patients/month; p = 0.128) between patients with incidental VTE and symptomatic VTE, respectively. At six-month follow-ups, the cumulative incidence of CRB was significantly higher in patients with incidental VTE than that in those with symptomatic VTE (7.9% vs. 4.4%, respectively; OR: 1.8; 95% CI: 1.01-3.2). Conclusion Cancer patients with incidental VTE had similar rates of CRB and VTE recurrence in long-term follow-up compared with patients with symptomatic VTE. At six-month follow-ups, patients with incidental VTE had a higher cumulative incidence of CRB than those with symptomatic VTE.

Usefulness of the National Early Warning Score for Risk Stratification of Stable Patients With Acute Symptomatic Pulmonary Embolism. Arch Bronconeumol 2023; 59:152-156. [PMID: 36609107 DOI: 10.1016/j.arbres.2022.11.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2022] [Revised: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the performance of the National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2) in predicting a short-term complicated outcome in stable patients with acute symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE). We also studied the ability of the NEWS2 score compared with the simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (sPESI) for identifying low-risk patients with acute PE. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort composed of 848 patients with acute PE. The NEWS2 and the sPESI were calculated for each patient according to different clinical variables. We assessed the predictive accuracy of these scores for a 30-day complicated outcome using the C statistic, which was obtained by logistic regression models and ROC curves. We also assessed the test and performance characteristics of the low-risk versus high-risk categories of each prediction rule. RESULTS Overall, 63 out of 848 patients died (7.4%; 95% confidence interval, 5.7%-9.2%) during the first month of follow-up. Both scores showed a similarly poor predictive value for 30-day complicated outcome (C statistic, 0.68 and 0.62). The sPESI classified fewer patients as low-risk (36.9% versus 44.5%; P<0.01). Compared with the NEWS2 score, the sPESI showed significantly higher sensitivity (92.1% versus 66.7%) and a better negative predictive value (98.4% versus 94.4%). CONCLUSION Both scores provide similar information for stratifying the risk of a complicated outcome in stable patients with PE. The sPESI identified low-risk patients with PE better than the NEWS2 score.
