Follow-up pulmonary angiography after 24 hours of lysis may help to determine residual clot burden, the need for catheter repositioning, and identify patients requiring continued therapy and/or additional interventions.
Value of follow-up angiography: additional interventions in patients undergoing catheter-directed thrombolysis for massive and submassive pulmonary embolism
Do not order computed tomography pulmonary angiography when evaluating patients for suspected pulmonary embolism unless: (1) the patient has a D-dimer concentration [greater than or equal to] 1000 ng/mL; or (2) the patient has a D-dimer concentration [greater than or equal to] 500 ng/mL, PLUS: (A) clinical signs of deep vein thrombosis, (B) hemoptysis, or (C) you think pulmonary embolism is the most likely diagnosis.
A better approach to the diagnosis of PE: A simple diagnostic algorithm is all that's needed to safely and effectively reduce our reliance on CT pulmonary angiography to diagnose PE
In a previous clinical trial, known as the YEARS study, a specialized diagnostic algorithm had a low incidence of failure in men and women with clinically suspected PE, as shown by a venous thromboembolism (VTE) rate of just 0.61% at 3 months and by use of CT pulmonary angiography that was 14 percentage points lower than with a conventional algorithmic approach.

It is usually diagnosed in the presence of a triad of liver disease, oxygenation defect, and intrapulmonary microvascular dilatations [7] on pulmonary angiography. However, contrastenhanced transthoracic echocardiography with saline (bubble test, as done in our patient) is an equally reliable investigation to ascertain the presence of pulmonary vascular dilatation.
