Advances in modalities for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) have led to a rise in the incidence of this disease. Some studies report a decrease in the case-fatality rate of PE with no changes ...

A subsegmental pulmonary embolism is a blood clot located on a distal, or distant and less central, branch of the pulmonary arteries. Treatment can depend on symptoms and risk factors. A subsegmental ...

The advent of computed tomography pulmonary angiography allowed better visualization of peripheral vessels, thereby increasing rates of subsegmental pulmonary embolism (SSPE), but there are minimal ...
