    Treatments

    Studied treatment subcutaneous idraparinux (2.5 mg once weekly)
    Control treatment heparin followed by an adjusted-dose vitamin K antagonist

    Patients

    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.
    Exclusion criteria therapeutic dose of low-molecular-weight heparin or unfractionated heparin administered for more than 36 hours before randomization; thrombolysis, embolectomy, or vena cava filter 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.
