  • Specialized Care:Dr. Ramakrishna is recognized as one of the leading experts in pulmonary embolism treatment in Hyderabad. His expertise and dedication ensure the best possible outcomes for patients with PE and associated conditions.

  • Comprehensive Evaluation:We conduct thorough assessments to diagnose pulmonary embolism and evaluate its severity and associated complications, including medical history review, physical examination, and diagnostic tests such as computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) and ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan.

  • Timely Intervention: Early detection and prompt treatment of pulmonary embolism are crucial for preventing life-threatening complications such as right heart strain and cardiogenic shock. We prioritize timely intervention to initiate appropriate treatment and optimize patient outcomes.

  • Individualized Treatment:We tailor treatment plans to each patient's specific condition, considering factors such as the size and location of blood clots, presence of comorbidities, risk of bleeding, and medication tolerance.

  • Multidisciplinary Approach: We collaborate closely with other specialists, such as pulmonologists, hematologists, and interventional radiologists, as needed, to ensure comprehensive evaluation and management of pulmonary embolism and associated conditions.

Our Services Include:

  • Anticoagulant Therapy:We prescribe anticoagulant medications, such as heparin and warfarin or direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), to prevent the progression of blood clots, reduce the risk of recurrent thromboembolic events, and improve overall prognosis.
  • Thrombolytic Therapy: In select cases of massive or high-risk pulmonary embolism, we may recommend thrombolytic therapy to rapidly dissolve blood clots and restore pulmonary blood flow, reducing the risk of hemodynamic instability and death.
  • Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filter Placement:For patients with contraindications to anticoagulant therapy or recurrent pulmonary embolism despite adequate anticoagulation, we may consider placement of an IVC filter to prevent migration of blood clots from the lower extremities to the pulmonary circulation.
  • Hemodynamic Support:We provide hemodynamic support as needed to stabilize patients with hemodynamic instability due to pulmonary embolism, including supplemental oxygen therapy, intravenous fluids, vasopressor medications, and mechanical ventilation.

1.What is pulmonary embolism (PE)?

Pulmonary embolism is a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the blockage of one or more pulmonary arteries by blood clots (thrombi), typically originating from deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the lower extremities.

Symptoms of pulmonary embolism may include sudden onset of dyspnea (shortness of breath), chest pain (often pleuritic), tachycardia, hemoptysis (coughing up blood), syncope (fainting), and signs of right heart strain (such as elevated jugular venous pressure or lower-extremity edema).

Diagnosis is based on a combination of clinical evaluation, assessment of risk factors, and diagnostic tests such as computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA), ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan, D-dimer assay, and echocardiography.

The primary goals of treatment for pulmonary embolism are to prevent further thrombus propagation, improve pulmonary blood flow, relieve symptoms, prevent recurrence of thromboembolic events, and reduce the risk of complications such as right heart strain and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.

Don't delay in seeking help if you suspect you have pulmonary embolism – early diagnosis and treatment are essential for optimizing outcomes and preventing complications. Trust Dr. Ramakrishna, the leading expert in pulmonary embolism treatment in Hyderabad, to provide compassionate care and personalized treatment.
