Real life case scenarios
CASE 1 MR ABC
• 39 year male patient
NON DM NON HTN
suffered # NOF right femur secondary to RTA
• Took treatment by local quack was kept
immobilsed in bed for 25 days
• Came to hospital for fracture fixation he was
having right sided chest pain,breathlessness,
palpitation since 3 days
• Vitals
pulse 117 / MIN
BP – 110 / 70 mm of Hg
SPO2 – 92 % ON ROOM AIR
• ECG – sinus tachycardia no ST T changes
• ECHO – tachycardia during study
normal sized cardiac chambers
no RWMA
Good LV systolic function
• X ray
• Considering
unexplained tachycardia
tachypnea
SPO2 < 94% on RA
right sided opacity in chest xray
prolonged bed ridden status
• DVT >>> PTE was suspected and
bilateral LL venous doppler and
CT pulmonary angiogram was done.
• Which revealed right sided subsegmental pulmonary
embolism along with pulmonary infarction.
• Surprisingly LL venous Doppler was negative for DVT
indicating that whole thrombus got embolised
Case no 2 Mr XYZ
• 65 year old male patient
• HTN DM OBESE
bilateral OA knees
• Was advised TKR
• Surgery uneventful.
Patient discharged .
• Came to hospital after 15 days with
breathlessness and low saturations
• Bedside ECHO revealed
Dilated RA RV
D shaped LV
Moderate PAH
Dilated IVC non collapsing
• Bedside BILATERAL LL venous doppler
revealed
DVT of operated leg.
• CTPA confirmed presence of pulmonary
embolism
Case no 3 mrs PQR
• 39 year old female… NON DM NON HTN
suffred RTA.. Fractured Tibia..
• came to hospital for fracture fixation
• Surgery went uneventful..
• Came to hospital 20 days back with DVT of operated
limb..
• It was HITT ( heparin inudued thrombocytopenia
thrombosis ) due to use of clexane as DVT prophylaxis
• Treated with fondarinaux later discharged on
dabigatran
Case no 3 Mr PQR
• 55 yr old male.. police constable by profession.
• he was a known case of pulmonary kochs.. drug
defaulter.. still on ATT..
• he was not feeling well since 1 month.. lethargic
malaise..
• he developed..over night swelling of left lower limb..
which was painful.
• ERP have already done bilateral venous doppler..which
revealed acute DVT....
• according to NICE Guidelines..
• if you encounter any patient above 40 yr of age.
without any obvious precipitating cause of DVT.
like limb injury fracture bed ridden status.. then
search for occult malignancy...
• his hb came as 5.8.. so UGI ENDOSCOPY.. was
done which revealed large ulcer in stomach..
• biospy of which revealed.. gastric carcinoma..
• Venous thromboembolism (VTE) constitutes two
clinical entities ie DVT & PE both having same
pathophysiological process.
• PE has been declared as most common
preventable cause of death
• DVT & PE survivors can develop complications like
POST THROMBOTIC SYNDROME (PTS), CHRONIC
THROMBOEMBOLIC PULMONARY HYPERTENSION
( CTEPH)
Acquired risk factors for hypercoagulability
• Immobilization
• Surgery
• Trauma
• Pregnancy
• Use of OC pills
• Hormone replacement therapy
• Malignancy
• Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome
• Heparin induced thrombocytopenia
• Myelopropliferative disorders
• Smoking & obesity
• Inflammatory bowel diseases
• Pacemakers & central venous catheters
• Nephrotic syndrome
inherited risk factors for hypercoagulability
( most common)
• Factor V leiden mutation
• Prothrombin gene mutation (G20210A)
• Deficiency of protein C, protein and
antithrombin
• Hyperhomocysteinemia
• Elevated factor VIII levels
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
• VIRCHOWS TRIAD..
1) stasis
2) hypercoagulability
3) injury to vessel wall
• Hypercoagulability can be due to inherited or
acquired risk factors
Clinical manifestations of DVT
• Pain and swelling
• SIGNS
increased warmth ,tenderness ,
dilated collateral veins
Cyanosis (extreme)
gangrene( extreme)
• HOMANS sign – dorsiflesion of ankle with
knee at 30 degree flexion causes calf pain
• Phelgmasia cerulea dolens– it’s a vascular
emergency where thrombus completely
occludes venous outflow causing massive limb
swelling ischaemia and venous gangrene
• Its seen in
CANCER
HIT
other hypercoagulable states
• Treated by urgent anticoagulation limb
elevation catheter directed or surgical
embolectomy
DIAGNOSIS OF DVT
• Clinical examination is unreliable as DD like
ruptured bakers cyst cellulites too look clinically
same like DVT
• Pre test probability scores
• WELLS SCORE
• Lower limb venous doppler study
sensitivity and specificity of 98%
operator dependent
inability to compress the vein with ultrasound
probe is diagnostic of DVT
Wells score
Wells score
• High ----- 3 or greater
• Moderate---- 1 or 2
• Low ----- 0 or less
• D-dimer – sensitivity and negative predictive
value is high
low pre test probability and negative D-dimer
has extremely high negative predictive value
for VTE
positive D- dimer is actually non specific..as
its positive in many other disease conditions.
• Venography was used in earlier days
Pathophysiology of pulmonary
embolism
• DVT thrombus gets dislodged travels in
venacava >> RA >> RV >> gets stuck in
pulmonary artery
• Decreased right ventriculat outflow leads to
decreased preload to LV and decreased
cardiac output. Shock can ensue
• Sudden development of ventilation perfusion
mismatch leads to hypoxia.. Which triggers
tachypnoea to compensate hypoxia
• Dilated right ventricle causes RCA obstruction
and RCA territory ischemia which again
contributes to failure of RV
• Cardiopulmonary collapse from PE is more
common in patients with underlying CAD or
other cardiopulmonary diseases.
Clinical manifestations of pulmonary
embolism
• Sudden onset of dyspnoea
• Hemoptysis
• Pleuritic chest pain
• Shock ( hemodynamic collapse)
• Palpitations
• Due to acute corpulmonale, pulmonary
infarction
Vital signs in Pulmonary embolism
• Tachycardia > 100/ min
• Tachypnoea
• Low saturations < 94 % in Room Air
• Low blood pressure
• Altered mental status due to hypoxia and
shock
Diagnosis of PE
ECG
• Most common finding SINUS TACHYCARDIA
• Most specific finding S1 Q3 T3
• Atrial fibrillation , RV strain, RBBB, ST T
changes
MASSIVE BILATERAL PULMONARY EMBOLUS
S1Q3T3
Sinus tachycardia.
Simultaneous T-wave inversions in the anterior (V1-4) and inferior leads (II, III, aVF).
Non-specific ST changes – slight ST elevation in III and aVF.
Chest X RAY
• Its helpful to rule out other causes of
breathlessness ( COPD exacerbation.
Pneumothorax, pneumonia, pulmonary
edema ARDS )
• Westermark sign ( regional oligemia)
• Hamptons hump ( pleural based wedge
shaped shadow)
• Pallas sign ( enlarged right inferion PA)
ECHO
• More than 50 % patients with
hemodynamically stable PE will not have any
ECHO changes
• Patient with hemodynamic collapse can have
• RA RV dilatation, RV dysfunction, mc connells
sign, TR with high RVSP pulmonary arterial
hypertension . Dilated IVC . Visualization of
thrombus in RA RV or Pulmonary artery
ECHO VIDEO CLIPS
• TROPONIN>>> can be elevated due to RV
ischemia , RV strain, RCA occlusion due to
raised RV pressure
• Elevation of Troponin is BAD prognostic
marker in pulmonary embolism
• BNP >>> elevation of BNP in absence of renal
dysfunction indicates RV dysfunction
• ABG >>> hypoxia due to ventilation perfusion
mismatch
• respiratory alkalosis due to CO2 wash out
secondary to tachypnoa
CT Pulmonary Angiogram
• CT imaging is now standard technique for PE
diagnosis
• Widely available and ability to directly
visualize thrombus
• It excludes other diseases too AORTIC
DISSECTION PNEMONIA MALIGNANCY
• Major disadvantage – radiation higher cost
contrast induced nephropathy
Ventilation- perfusion scanning
(V/Q scanning)
• Second line diagnostic modality
• CT contraindicated patients – Renal
insufficiency, contrast allergy , pregnancy.
• Unmatched defect is diagnostic of pulmonary
embolism
• Pulmonary angiography – remains gold
standard for diagnsosis of PE , nowdays being
used infrequently due to advent of CT PA
• Magnetic resonance angiography >>> to avoid
radiation exposure to avoid contrast in allergic
patients
TREATMENT OF DVT
• The Goal of treatment is relief of symptoms and
prevention of PE CTEPH PTS Recurrent VTE
• once diagnosis of DVT is confirmed immediate
anticoagulation should be started.
• initial therapy should include
HEPARIN/LMWH/FONDAPARINUX
followed by Vitamin K Antagonist VKA ( warfarin
/ acenocaoumoral)
• NOAC
• HEPARIN – UFH
80 mg/kg bolus followed by 18 U/kg/hr IV infusion… target
aPTT is 1.5 to 2.5 times the control aPTT
• LMWH– Enoxaparin(Clexane)
either once daily injection of 1.5 mg/kg/day
or
twice daily injection of 1 mg/kg/day
• FONDAPARINUX – its administered as once daily
subcutaneous injection
5 --- < 50 kg
7.5 --- 50 to 100 kg
10 mg --- > 100 kg
VITAMIN K ANTAGONIST / WARFARIN
• Once anticoagulation with
UFH/LMWH/FONDAPARINUX is begun
• VITAMIN K ANTAGONIST should be started
• And Overlap should be continued till 4 to 5
days till Thepareutic INR is reached
• Therapeutic INR 2 to 3
WARFARIN INDUCED SKIN NECROSIS
NEWER ORAL ANTICOAGULANTS
• RIVAROXABAN/APIXABAN
can be started as monotherapy no overlap or initial
treatment with UFH or LMWH is required.
RIVAROXABAN15 mg orally twice daily for 21 days
followed by 20 mg once daily.
APIXABAN– 10 mg BD for 7 days followed by 5 mg
BD for upto 6 month ( beyond 6 month 2.5 mg BD)
DABIGATRAN – preferably administered after 5 days
course of Parenteral anticoagulation
150 mg twice daily
THROMBOLYTIC THERAPY
• Thrombolytic therapy is reserved for those
cases of DVT which threaten the limb,
ileofemoral DVT
• Its given as catheter directed approach or
systemic approach in catheter directed
approach is not available.
• It promotes early recanalisation , prevents
PTS.
