LONG-TERM CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS OF RESIDUAL PULMONARY VASCULAR OBSTRUCTION AFTER PULMONARY EMBOLISM: A VENTILATION-PERFUSION LUNG SCAN FOLLOW-UP STUDY AT TWO TIMEPOINTS

Abstract

Little is known about the clinical implications of residual pulmonary vascular obstruction(RPVO) on long-term outcomes and about the optimal timing of V-Q scan control during patient follow-up. We aimed to investigate the prognostic value on 5-year adverse events of RPVO, measured by two ventilation
