肺血栓栓塞症(PTE)是肺栓塞(PE)的最常见类型,占PE中的绝大多数,通常所称PE即指PTE。PTE曾经被认为是少见病,极少被关注。近年来研究发现,在威胁人类生命的疾病中,PTE已经成为继肿瘤和心血管疾病之后的居第三位的致死性病变,受到各国医学界的普遍关注。近年来,国内部分医院的统计资料显示,作为PTE来源的深静脉血栓形成(DVT)与PTE的住院患病率、疾病构成比有显著增加的趋势,欧美及我国的流行病学调查更是说明了DVT与PTE的多发性。 然而,PTE并不是不可治的疾病,恰恰是由于这种疾病临床表现及病情经过等的多样性、临床医生的临床诊断意识不足以及影像学科医生缺乏对PTE的诊断技能等原因而难于检出或误诊。因此,提高临床医生对DVT与PTE严重性的认识,构建多学科的规范化诊疗体系至关重要。 Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is the most common type of pulmonary embolism (PE), accounting for the vast majority of PE, PE is commonly referred to as PTE. PTE was once considered a rare disease, seldom been concerned about. In recent years, the study found that PTE has become the third leading fatal disease after cancer and cardiovascular disease among the diseases that threaten human life, and has drawn widespread attention from medical circles in various countries. In recent years, statistics of some hospitals in China show that there is a significant increase in the in-hospital morbidity rate and the disease constituent ratio of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) as PTE source and PTE, and the epidemiological investigation in Europe, DVT and PTE multiple. However, PTE is not an irrecoverable disease, precisely because of the clinical manifestations of the disease and the diversity of the disease, clinicians lack of awareness of clinical diagnosis and imaging physicians lack of diagnostic skills and other reasons PTE difficult to detect or Misdiagnosis. Therefore, it is very important to improve clinicians’ understanding of the severity of DVT and PTE and construct a multidisciplinary and standardized diagnosis and treatment system.
