[Home treatment of low-risk pulmonary embolism patients : Efficacy and safety of an outpatient program including the general practitioner].

Aim: Outpatient treatment (OT) of patients with low-risk pulmonary embolisms (PE) is recommended. A multidisciplinary OT program including the general practitioner (GP) has been implemented at Versailles hospital in 2019. The objectives of the study were to assess the feasibility, safety and acceptability of the program.

Rapid screening of COVID-19 patients using white blood cell scattergrams, a study on 381 patients.

Complementary tools are warranted to increase the sensitivity of the initial testing for COVID-19. We identified a specific 'sandglass' aspect on the white blood cell scattergram of COVID-19 patients reflecting the presence of circulating plasmacytoid lymphocytes. Patients were dichotomized as COVID-19-positive or -negative based on reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and chest computed tomography (CT) scan results.

[Evolution of the interventional reperfusion strategy and reperfusion times in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction].

Background: In patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI), the recommended times (first medical contact-to-balloon (M2B) <120 or <90min, and door-to-balloon (D2B) <45min) are reached in less than 50% of patients.

Purpose: To compare the interventional reperfusion strategy and reperfusion times between two series of consecutive STEMI patients referred for pPCI within 12hours of symptom onset, in 2007 and 2012.

Methods: Retrospective study of 182 patients, 87 admitted from January 2007 to March 2008 (period 1), and 95 admitted from January to December 2012 (period 2).

[Accuracy of the door-to-balloon time for assessing the result of the interventional reperfusion strategy in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction].

Background: In patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), recent clinical guidelines recommend that primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) should be performed within 90min of first medical contact or 45min after admission in cathlab. The Door-to-Balloon time (D2B) is widely used to measure the performance of interventional centres.

Aim Of The Study: To analyze the time to reperfusion in a consecutive series of STEMI patients referred for primary PCI, and to evaluate the clinical accuracy of D2B in primary PCI.
