Intracranial hemorrhage due to pulmonary thromboembolism in heparin therapy and therapeutic management of patients hospitalized with massive pulmonary embolism after discharge.
Abstract A patient with a history of intracranial hemorrhage who was hospitalized due to massive pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) was presented. A 59-year-old female patient had an intracranial hemorrhage while under anticoagulant therapy due to PTE after a knee operation. Therefore, the anticoagulant therapy was discontinued. Forty-seven days after the cessation of the anticoagulant treatment, the patient was admitted to the emergency department with a complaint of acute dyspnea and presyncope. Transthoracic echocardiography showed signs of right ventricular overload. Contrast-enhanced thorax computed tomography s...

Detection of Left Atrial Appendage Thrombus by Cardiac Computed Tomography in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: A Meta-Analysis Original Articles
Conclusions— Cardiac computed tomography, particularly when delayed imaging is performed, is a reliable alternative to TEE for the detection of LA/LAA thrombi/clot, avoiding the discomfort and risks associated with TEE.

Pheochromocytoma crisis resulting in acute heart failure and cardioembolic stroke in a 37-year-old man
A previously healthy, 37-year-old man presented to his primary care physician with new-onset hypertension, cough, and dyspnea. He was initially diagnosed with asthma and was treated with inhalation corticosteroids. Despite treatment, his symptoms worsened over a 3-month period. Although previously athletic, he developed exercise intolerance, orthopnea, and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea. His symptoms prompted admission to a community hospital to rule out pulmonary embolism. Contrast computed tomography of the chest instead demonstrated a 5.3 × 4.8-cm left adrenal tumor ().
