- The study investigates how the location of nonmassive pulmonary embolism (PE) affects immediate and long-term patient outcomes, specifically focusing on risks associated with recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE), major bleeding, and mortality.
- The analysis was conducted using data from a large registry and compared patients with central PE (located in the main pulmonary artery) to those with noncentral PE (in peripheral arteries).
- Findings indicated that although central PE patients had a slightly higher risk of recurrent VTE after stopping anticoagulation, the overall risks of major bleeding and mortality were similar between both groups, suggesting the clinical significance of these differences may be limited.
