Key result
Indium-111 platelet scintigraphy correlated with aggravation of acute thrombotic symptoms in deep vein thrombosis and arteriosclerosis obliterans, but was not sensitive for pulmonary embolism.

Does Indium-111 platelet scintigraphy accurately detect thrombotic activity in patients with vascular thrombosis?

Does Indium-111 platelet scintigraphy accurately detect thrombotic activity in patients with vascular thrombosis?
Indium-111 platelet scintigraphy is useful for assessing thrombotic activity in deep vein thrombosis and arteriosclerosis obliterans, but lacks sensitivity for pulmonary embolism.
Sugimoto et al. (2000) conducted an observational in Vascular thrombosis (n=77). Indium-111 platelet scintigraphy was evaluated on Correlation of platelet accumulation with acute thrombotic symptoms. Indium-111 platelet scintigraphy correlated with aggravation of acute thrombotic symptoms in deep vein thrombosis and arteriosclerosis obliterans, but was not sensitive for pulmonary embolism.
