Summary: | To date, much of our knowledge about recurrent PE has come from clinical trials or registry studies in which symptomatic recurrence was a major endpoint, while asymptomatic recurrence is rarely reported. [...]current guidelines suggest treating patients with asymptomatic PE similarly to those with symptomatic PE,[1,2] but do not recommend routine follow-up of asymptomatic patients by imaging methods after PE diagnosis. [...]a significant difference in the distribution of pulmonary perfusion defects was observed at baseline. [...]we did not collect follow-up data for outcomes in the longer term, including death and the development of pulmonary hypertension, because this was not a study objective. [...]the present study indicated that some PE patients may experience asymptomatic recurrence, and these patients are easily ignored. |
