“…The classification of scintigraphic changes was mainly founded on earlier studies comparing pulmonary angiogra phy and scintigraphy [5][6][7][8][9]. In these inves tigations, the probability of PE was con sidered high for large defects, codes a and b, and decreased in sequence down to just above zero for code 0.…”

“…42 However, it is invasive and expensive and should be reserved for individuals in whom less invasive tests (such as V/Q scanning) are nondiagnostic. In many centers, the radionuclide lung scan is the pivotal test for the investigation of patients with suspected PE.…”

“…Os resultados de dois grandes estudos mostram que apenas 12% a 14% dos pacientes que não apresentaram resolução para a suspeita de EP com cintilografia V/Q foram submetidos à angiografia pulmonar seletiva (4,5) . Apesar de a angiografia apresentar mortalidade menor que 1% e morbidade de 2% a 5%, é bastante dispendiosa, não tendo, portanto, alto índice de aceitabilidade e, em muitas ocasiões, os pacientes são submetidos à anticoagulação sem passar pela angiografia (6) . Mais recentemente, apareceram novos recursos diagnós-ticos para a EP, como a imagem por ressonância magnética, Figura 1 -Êmbolo em átrio direito (mulher, 61 anos, com cateter venoso central por tempo prolongado).…”

“…Em outros estudos, 691 pacientes apresentaram estudo negativo para EP com angiografia pulmonar. Cerca de 1% apresentou sintoma de embolia no acompanhamento por 6 a 12 meses (6,21,22) .…”
