5th Department of Internal Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University and the University Hospital Bratislava, Bratislava, Slovak Republic.
Aim: Despite anticoagulation in some patients after pulmonary embolism (PE) pulmonary emboli are not completely resolved. The goal of our prospective study was to evaluate the rate of residual pulmonary emboli in repeated CT pulmoangiography 13-17 weeks after setting the diagnosis of PE and to determine the relationship between primary risk factors for PE, the results of the primary entry tests and the incidence of residual pulmonary embolism.
Methods: Fifty-three patients aged 59.
