Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) has been shown to be able to successfully identify acute/subacute pulmonary thromboembolism (PE). Most reported cases have required confirmation by computerized tomography (CT) angiography. This report demonstrates a case where CT angiography was not conclusive and the EBUS was useful in clarifying the chronic process inside the pulmonary artery compatible with clinical diagnosis of chronic pulmonary artery thrombosis.
经支气管超声(EBUS)已被证明能够成功识别急性/亚急性肺血栓栓塞症(PE)。大多数报道的病例都需要计算机断层扫描(CT)血管造影证实。本报告展示了一例 CT 血管造影结果不确定的病例,EBUS 有助于阐明与慢性肺动脉血栓形成临床诊断相符的肺动脉内慢性过程。
