Download or read book Embolic Disease written by Stanislaw P. Stawicki and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-02-05 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the realm of medical practice, the word “embolism” has many implications to many people, with most providers instinctively placing this word within an inherently negative context. Derived from the Greek word, ἐμβολισμός, this term most literally means “interposition.” Yet, regardless of how benign this etymological derivation may appear, the clinical context is quite the opposite—a symbol of much dreaded morbidity and mortality. Whether the embolus consists of a blood clot, a fat globule, a bubble of gas, amniotic fluid, or even an iatrogenic or traumatic foreign body, the unfavorable connotations persist even if the patient has few or no associated symptoms and requires no intervention.The primary goal of this book is to provide the reader with an overview of the most common types of embolic phenomena encountered in clinical practice, including some of the key related diagnostic and therapeutic considerations. Among chapters featured in the current collection are important contributions in the areas of pulmonary embolism, fat embolism, embolic complications of non-malignant cardiac tumors, acute arterial embolism of the lower extremity, thrombophilia in pregnancy, bullet and shrapnel embolization, coronary artery embolization, as well as a comprehensive review of venous interventions utilized in the management of thromboembolic disorders. When measured in terms of both human and financial costs, broadly defined “embolic phenomena” have tremendous impact on healthcare systems and societies around the globe. Through this academic effort of both our editorial team and individual chapter authors, we hope to provide the reader with valuable insight into the gravity of the collective problem. Among key takeaway messages of this book is that diagnostic relativity and uncertainty continue to prevail in the realm of “embolic diseases.” Consequently, much more progress is required before we are able to declare success.

This book was released on 2023-02-21 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulmonary embolism (PE) has experienced a rapid expansion in available treatments, from hyperacute emergency care to the detailed investigation of persistent breathlessness despite anticoagulation during follow up. Whilst recent clinical practice guidelines provide a robust evidence base for more routine aspects of pulmonary embolism management, clinicians frequently face patient-specific challenges where the evidence for how to proceed with patient management may be less secure.Derived from the personal experience of expert clinicians who are engaged in all aspects of PE care, this book provides a practical update on contemporary management aspects from life-threatening presentation of pulmonary embolism with failed thrombolysis to the patient presenting with complex comorbidity or during pregnancy. General physicians and clinical specialists interested in contemporary diagnosis and management of acute pulmonary embolism will benefit from this book.
