Safety of outpatient treatment in acute pulmonary embolism
Petra M. G. Erkens,Esteban Gandara,Phil Wells,Alex Yi-Hao Shen,Gauruv Bose,G. Le Gal,Marc A. Rodger,Martin H. Prins,Marc Carrier +8 more
TL;DR: Patients with pulmonary embolism can be treated as outpatients as well as inpatients according to a pragmatic evaluation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benchmark for time in therapeutic range in venous thromboembolism: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
TL;DR: Reported quality of VKA treatment is highly dependent on the time-period since the start of treatment, with TTR ranging from approximately 56% in studies including the 1st month to 75% in Studies excluding the first 3 months.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patient-reported treatment satisfaction with oral rivaroxaban versus standard therapy in the treatment of pulmonary embolism; results from the EINSTEIN PE trial
Martin H. Prins,Luke Bamber,Stefan J. Cano,Maria Y. Wang,Petra M. G. Erkens,Rupert Bauersachs,Anthonie W. A. Lensing +6 more
TL;DR: Rivaroxaban treatment resulted in improved treatment satisfaction compared with enoxaparin/VKA in PE patients, particularly in reducing patient-reported anticoagulation burden.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thromboembolic resolution assessed by CT pulmonary angiography after treatment for acute pulmonary embolism
Paul L. den Exter,Josien van Es,Lucia J.M. Kroft,Petra M. G. Erkens,R. A. Douma,Inge C. M. Mos,G.J.P.M. Jonkers,Marcel M. C. Hovens,Marc F. Durian,Hugo ten Cate,Ludo F. M. Beenen,Pieter Willem Kamphuisen,Menno V. Huisman,Prometheus Follow-Up Investigators +13 more
TL;DR: The incidence of residual thrombotic obstruction following treatment for PE is considerably lower than currently anticipated, and these findings do not support the routine use of follow-up CTPA-imaging in patients treated for acute PE.
Journal ArticleDOI
