| 8 | Recurrent Septic Pulmonary Embolism Related to an Implanted Central Venous Access Port Device显示文摘To the Editor:Septic pulmonary embolism (SPE)is a rare type of nonthrombotic pulmonary embolism,in which, emboli-containing pathogens and purulent material admixed with fibrin thrombus embolize to the pulmonary artery, causing pulmonary embolism with focal lung infection. Embolization from this complex results in stenosis and/or obstruction of small pulmonary vessels,which frequently causes pulmonary infection.SPE is usually associated with the use of infected central venous catheters and with endocarditis, septic thrombophlebitis (including Lemierre's syndrome),and oropharyngeal infection. The use of central venous access port devices (CVAPDs)has increased rapidly worldwide because of their convenience and safety for patients who need repeated blood sampling or long-term continuous intravenous therapy such as chemotherapy,transfusion of blood products,fluid hydration,or parenteral nutrition. | Goohyeon Hong Youn Seup Kim | 2018 | Chinese Medical Journal2018，，24： | 0 |
