Introduction: There are no randomized trials studying the outcomes of mechanical aspiration thrombectomy (MAT) for management of pulmonary embolism (PE).
Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing literature to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MAT in the setting of PE. Inclusion criteria were as follows: studies reporting more than five patients, study involved MAT, and reported clinical outcomes and pulmonary artery pressures.
Background: Early encounters with palliative care (PC) can influence health-care utilization, clinical outcome, and cost.
Aim: To study the effect of timing of PC encounters on brain metastasis patients at an academic medical center.
Setting/participants: All patients diagnosed with brain metastases from January 2013 to August 2015 at a single institution with inpatient and/or outpatient PC records available for review (N = 145).
