Impact of Co-incident Lower Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis on Symptomatic and Incidental Pulmonary Embolism Outcomes. A Single Center Prospective Cohort Study.

Objectives: Study aims were to assess the impact of co-incident lower extremity (LE) deep vein thrombosis (DVT) on clinical outcomes of pulmonary embolism (PE) including venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence and mortality.

Methods: Consecutive patients with confirmed acute symptomatic or incidental PE (March 1, 2013 - June 30, 2021) who underwent ultrasound imaging were divided into two groups depending on the presence or absence of LE DVT. Patients were followed prospectively for VTE recurrence, bleeding, and all-cause mortality.

Topography of ischemic strokes in cancer-associated non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis: A single-institution descriptive case series.

Background: Very limited data indicate that patients with stroke from cancer-associated NBTE (Ca-NBTE) exhibit a characteristic pattern of widely distributed ischemic lesions of varying sizes.

Methods: An electronic search of Mayo Clinic records (03/31/2002-06/30/2022) with ensuing manual review of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed to identify topographic characteristics of stroke from Ca-NBTE.

Results: In 112 patients with Ca-NBTE, 92 (82.
