摘要：

Our aim was to evaluate clinical management and outcomes in cancer patients who had an indeterminate Computed Tomographic Pulmonary Angiogram (CTPA) for the assessment of pulmonary embolus. We reviewed 1000 CTPA studies and identified 251 limited (indeterminate) CTPA. We examined follow-up imaging and reviewed clinical management decisions and any positive diagnosis of venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) within the subsequent 90days. 60 patients (23.9%) had a follow-up imaging study within five days. 8 had a positive study for VTE disease within 5days. 3 patients (1.2%) were placed on anticoagulation therapy based on the limited CI' result.
