Can platelet indices predict obstruction level of pulmonary vascular bed in patients with acute pulmonary embolism?

Abstract: Platelet indices, MPV and PDW, can be used for the determination of disease severity, and lead to therapeutic strategies for PE patients.

“…Moreover, MPV was higher in massive PE patients compared to the patients with sub-massive or non-massive PE. Günay et al (17) found that MPV levels were correlated with the pulmonary arterial occlusion level assessed by Computed tomography pulmonary arterial obstruction index ratio (CTPAOIR). These findings suggest that pulmonary arterial occlusion level that was the indicator of the massive PE can be predicted with the increased levels of MPV.…”

“…Researchers consistently reported that PDW may be related to increased platelet activation in patients with PE (1,20). Wang et al reported that PDW was significantly higher in the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with PE compared to the COPD patients without PE and also reported that higher PDW significantly correlate with bilateral thrombus in pulmonary artery branches (2).…”
