2. CT pulmonary angiogram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CT_pulmonary_angiogram

   CTPA was introduced in the 1990s as an alternative to ventilation/perfusion scanning (V/Q scan), which relies on radionuclide imaging of the blood vessels of the lung. It is regarded as a highly sensitive and specific test for pulmonary embolism. [1] CTPA is typically only requested if pulmonary embolism is suspected clinically.

3. Pulmonary angiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_angiography

   Selective pulmonary angiogram revealing significant thrombus (labelled A) causing a central obstruction in the left main pulmonary artery. Pulmonary angiography (or pulmonary arteriography,conventional pulmonary angiography, selective pulmonary angiography) is a medical fluoroscopic procedure used to visualize the pulmonary arteries and much less frequently, the pulmonary veins.

4. Computed tomography angiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computed_tomography...

   CT pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) is used to examine the pulmonary arteries in the lungs, most commonly to rule out pulmonary embolism (PE), a serious but treatable condition. It has become the technique of choice for detection of pulmonary embolism due to its wide availability, short exam time, ability to see other diseases that may present like ...

5. Angiography - Wikipedia

   After an angiogram, a sudden shock can cause a little pain at the surgery area, but heart attacks and strokes usually do not occur, as they may in bypass surgery. The risk of complications from angiography can be reduced with a prior CT scan by providing clinicians with more information about number and positioning of the clots in advance. [19 ...

6. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_obstructive...

   Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a type of progressive lung disease characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation. [8] GOLD 2024 defined COPD as a heterogeneous lung condition characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms (dyspnea or shortness of breath, cough, sputum production or exacerbations) due to abnormalities of the airways (bronchitis ...

7. Obstructive shock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obstructive_shock

   Risk factors are conditions that increase the risk of clotting. This includes genetic (factor V Leiden) and acquired conditions (cancer). [17] Trauma, surgery, and prolonged bed-rest are common risks. Covid-19 is a recent risk factor. [18] This obstruction increases the pulmonary vascular resistance. If large enough, the clot increases the load ...
