Lung Perfusion Scintigraphy in Early Post-COVID-19: A Single Centre Retrospective Study
Conclusion: Despite prophylactic anticoagulation, the mismatched defects, suggestive of pulmonary thromboembolism were observed. Serum D-dimer in early post-COVID-19 is a poor predictor of mismatched perfusion defects. Confirmed evidence of pulmonary embolism by imaging studies should support the decision to extend anticoagulant prophylaxis.PMID:34330803 | DOI:10.2967/jnmt.121.262440
