Table 5 Relation between the site of thrombosis and risk stratification of PTE
From: Echocardiographic findings in patients with acute pulmonary embolism at Sohag University Hospitals
Site of thrombus | Total | High risk (n = 8) | Low risk (n = 32) | P value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Main pulmonary trunk | 4 | 4 (50%) | 0 (0%) | *0.000 |
Left pulmonary trunk | 4 | 2 (25%) | 2 (6.25%) | 0.114 |
Right pulmonary trunk | 8 | 2 (25%) | 6 (18.75%) | 0.693 |
Segmental artery | 24 | 0 (0%) | 24 (75%) | *0.000 |
