Since the publication of the original edition of Pulmonary Embolism, far-reaching changes have taken place in this field. The introduction of plasma D-dimer testing and clinical decision rules have simplified diagnostic assessment of many patients with either leg (DVT) or chest (PE) symptoms; the introduction of CT pulmonary angiography has changed the way in which imaging is used in diagnostic management; and the development of multidetector CT systems has minimalized the use of nuclear perfusion/ventilation and pulmonary angiography. Treatment now takes place in the community or the outpatient department. This book has been revised and expanded to combine all current knowledge about both of these conditions in one comprehensive volume Dedicated to dealing with a challenging disease, previously thought to be incurable, but with the advent of new drugs, now amenable to management and a much improved prognosis for patients. - Latest publication in a fast-moving area of keen clinical interest - Authored by leading international authorities - Builds on success of a respected first edition - Incorporates new data on latest imaging technologies and therapies - Covers both the science and clinical aspects, including presentation, surgical intervention and drug therapy - Includes coverage of both Pulmonary Embolism and Deep Vein Thrombosis
