Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary embolism (PE) can show a wide range of symptoms, from none at all to severe hemodynamic collapse, despite similar appearances of clots in imaging tests.
- The authors aimed to find a link between the age of the blood clots and the patients' clinical symptoms by examining the clots under a microscope.
- They studied 13 thrombectomy samples from PE patients to determine the age of the thrombus based on its microscopic features and how it related to the patients' clinical outcomes.

Background: Current pulmonary embolism treatment options rely heavily on anatomical clot location. However, anatomical location does not necessarily determine adverse outcomes; rather, clinical severity is secondary to the degree of perfusion impairment. Dual-energy computed tomography pulmonary angiogram (DE-CTPA) can map perfusion at the time of pulmonary embolism diagnosis.
