What is Subsegmental pulmonary embolism?

Subsegmental pulmonary embolism (SSPE) affects the 4th division and more distal pulmonary arterial branches. SSPE can be isolated or affect multiple subsegments, be symptomatic or incidental (unsuspected) and may or may not be associated with deep vein thrombosis.

What is acute pulmonary thromboembolism?

An acute pulmonary embolism, or embolus, is a blockage of a pulmonary (lung) artery. Most often, the condition results from a blood clot that forms in the legs or another part of the body (deep vein thrombosis, or DVT) and travels to the lungs.

What is pulmonary embolism with acute cor pulmonale?

Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is the prototype for acute cor pulmonale. Acute obstruction of the pulmonary vasculature may lead to acute right-sided heart failure, and at times, total cardiovascular collapse.

What is the ICD-10 code for pulmonary hypertension?

ICD-10-CM code I27. 23 (pulmonary hypertension due to lung disease and hypoxia) is reported for this type.

What is segmental and Subsegmental PE?

Small segmental or subsegmental PE are of importance in patients with limited cardiopulmonary reserve and for diagnosis of chronic pulmonary hypertension. They may be an indicator of silent deep venous thrombosis, which may predispose patients to more severe embolic events.

What are the different types of pulmonary embolism?

Based on location of the clot into pulmonary artery following terms are used A) saddle PE (large clot into main pulmonary artery), B) lobar PE (into big branch of pulmonary artery), or C) distal PE (into small branches of pulmonary artery).

What does Subsegmental mean?

: a segment that is part of a larger segment … one of the fastest growing subsegments of the fastest growing category in the car and truck biz, to wit: luxury sport-utility vehicles.— Tony Swan.

What is the difference between acute and chronic pulmonary embolism?

Pulmonary emboli can present as acute PE or chronic PE. Acute PE is a new obstruction causing acute onset heart strain. Acute PE often needs immediate treatment with clot busters and blood thinning medications. Chronic PE is a more insidious presentation that includes heart failure with gradual progressive symptoms.

What causes pulmonary thromboembolism?

Pulmonary embolism occurs when a clump of material, most often a blood clot, gets wedged into an artery in your lungs. These blood clots most commonly come from the deep veins of your legs, a condition known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). In many cases, multiple clots are involved in pulmonary embolism.

What is the difference between embolism and thrombosis?

Thrombosis occurs when a thrombus, or blood clot, develops in a blood vessel and reduces the flow of blood through the vessel. Embolism occurs when a piece of a blood clot, foreign object, or other bodily substance becomes stuck in a blood vessel and largely obstructs the flow of blood.

The ICD code I26 is used to code Pulmonary embolism

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blockage of the lung's main artery or one of its branches by a substance that has traveled from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream (embolism). PE results from a deep vein thrombosis (commonly a blood clot in a leg) that breaks off and migrates to the lung, a process termed venous thromboembolism (VTE).
