Location of Clot in Patients with COPD Experiencing Pulmonary
The results suggest that mucus plugs may be associated with increased severity of COPD, higher pulmonary arterial occlusion index, and altered clot distribution within the pulmonary artery tree. These findings emphasize the importance of recognizing mucus plugs as a key consideration in COPD assessment and management, potentially influencing disease severity, vascular remodeling, and thrombotic risk management.
