Patients

patients with pulmonary embolism |
Inclusion criteria |
intraluminal filling defect in subsegmental or more proximal pulmonary arteries on spiral computed tomography (CT) or pulmonary angiography, a high-probability finding on a ventilation�perfusion lung scan, or a nondiagnostic finding with documented deep venous thrombosis. Patients without chest symptoms in whom deep venous thrombosis was diagnosed were not routinely tested for pulmonary embolism. |

required for the current episode; another indication
for a vitamin K antagonist; pregnancy or
breast-feeding; creatinine clearance of less than 10 ml per minute; uncontrolled hypertension (systolic
blood pressure >180 mm Hg or diastolic
blood pressure >110 mm Hg); life expectancy
of less than 3 months.
