Pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy: Exploration into current diagnostic aids and therapeutics

Pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy (PTTM) is an under‐recognized cause of pulmonary hypertension and fulminant right ventricle failure. It is associated with a high mortality due to delay in diagnosis. We present two cases of PTTM, both diagnosed postmortem, highlighting the importance of ti...

description Pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy (PTTM) is an under‐recognized cause of pulmonary hypertension and fulminant right ventricle failure. It is associated with a high mortality due to delay in diagnosis. We present two cases of PTTM, both diagnosed postmortem, highlighting the importance of timely identification and initiation of treatment for this near‐fatal condition.
