A102 TRANSPLANTATION: ADVANCES AND CHALLENGES: Risk Stratification Of Pulmonary Embolism May Affect Lung Transplant Outcomes

Clinical risk stratification was estimated using the Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI).Intermediate risk PE was identified using right ventricular (RV) to left ventricular (LV) ratios from available CT scans.Predictors for survival after PE were analyzed with cox regression models. Univariate...

Summary:Clinical risk stratification was estimated using the Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI).Intermediate risk PE was identified using right ventricular (RV) to left ventricular (LV) ratios from available CT scans.Predictors for survival after PE were analyzed with cox regression models. Univariate Analysis revealed a statistically significant association between PESI and survival in lung transplant recipients (p = 0.02).
