Gold standard for diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism?

A

Catheter Angiography.

28
Q

Diagnosis?

What sign?

A

Pulmonary Embolism

Westermark Sign - Regional Oligemia (Reduction of blood flow)

29
Q

Diagnosis?

Sign?

Acute vs Chronic PE

A well descrined cause of pulmonary hypertension

A

Chronic PE

40
Q

Exam of choice of Acute PE

A

CT Pulmonary Angiogram

41
Q

Exam of choic of Chronic PE

A

VQ Scan (Ventilation perfusion scan)

42
Q

Uncommon variant of primary pulmonary hypertension, that affects the post capillary pulmonary vasculature.

A

Pulmonary Veno-occlusive diease

43
Q

PAH+Normal Wedge

A

Pulmonary Veno-occlusive disease

The normal wedge pressure differentiates it from other post capillary causes

44
Q

PAH+Abnormal Wedge

A

Left atrial mexoma
Mitral Stenosis
Pulmonary Vein stenosis

45
Q

Most common cause of Pulmonary Artery Aneurysm/Pseudoaneurysm

A

Iatrogenic from swan Ganz Catheter (Think about “patients in the ICUS”)

46
Q

Other causes of Pulmonary artery aneurysm/Pseudoaneurysm

A

Behcets (Think about Turkish descent, Mouth and Genital Ulcers)
Chronic Pulmonary Embolism

47
Q

This is a zebra cause of pulmonary artery aneurysm that is similar (and maybe the same thing) as Behcets. It is characterized by recurrent thrombophlebitis and pulmonary artery aneurysm formation and rupture.

A

Hugh-Stovin Syndrome

48
Q

This has a cool name, which instantly makes it high yield for testing. This is a pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm secondary to pulmonary TB. It usually involves the upper lobes in the setting o f reactivation TB.

A

Rassmussen Aneurysm

49
Q

Aneurysm from Right ventricular outflow tract (ROVT) repair

A

TOF Repair complication

50
