Article Synopsis
- Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) is a crucial prognostic factor for patients with pulmonary embolism (PE), and the study explored the effectiveness of carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) as a predictive marker for RVD.
- Significant levels of CA IX, NT-proBNP, and high-sensitive cardiac troponin T were found in PE patients with RVD, with CA IX showing strong predictive capabilities (AUC = 0.751).
- CA IX levels also correlated positively with systolic pulmonary arterial pressure, indicating its potential as a valuable serologic predictor for RVD in acute PE cases.
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the trachea is a rare benign tumor in adults. It is mostly seen before the age of 16. We describe a 20-year-old female patient who presented with stridor.
