This comparative effectiveness and safety analysis reveals that all of the DOACs are at least as effective as warfarin in preventing ischemic stroke and systemic emboli, and that rivaroxaban may be more effective, and that apixaban and dabigatran have a lower risk of bleeding than warfarin.

A Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) of the chest was positive for bilateral pulmonary emboli (see Figure 2): specifically right upper lobe, right middle lobe, and left lower lobe segmental thrombi.

When removing the emboli, risks of vascular perforation, embolization, ischaemia, and infection must be taken into account.

These findings suggest right ventricular hypertrophy or strain and are consistent with pulmonary emboli. (1-3)

However, I spoke to a highly renowned vascular surgeon here in Tacoma who said that he does not believe that any evidence exists that beginning an exercise program to include running three months after a carotid dissection and stroke is going to cause further emboli or further stroke injury.

But, in a recent study, taking estradiol--a form of estrogen that is bioequivalent to the form produced naturally by premenopausal women--was associated with a lower risk of developing blood clots in leg veins (a condition called deep vein thrombosis) and blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary emboli) than taking conjugated equine estrogens, which are found in the brand-name medication Premarin.
