COVID positive on 2/9. Received mAb. CT angio with mild changes c/w on rt transplanted lung. Left native lung with large PA thrombus, likely chronic. Calcifications there previously noted on non-contrast CT. Split perfusion scans have shown essentially no flow to left side.    Treated with moderate dose steroids, 40 daily of MP. Improved clinically. No indication for remdesivir. BAL done with no secondary infection, but predominant neutrophils.   Anticoagulated during hospital stay.

I personally reviewed imaging, labs, and other available data.  Management was discussed with the fellow and I agree with documentation with any exceptions noted here.  Brief exam: Patient is alert, resting comfortably in bed. Good air entry in right chest. Regular rhythm tachycardic.   Has had worsening dyspnea and fatigue since November 2021 but acutely worse in last 1 month.   Brief History and Medical Decision-Making: This is a 74 year old female s/p right single lung transplant in 2018 for IPF, now admitted with subacute dyspnea. She was diagnosed with COVID-19 infection on 2/9 and received MAB. CT angiogram in ED shows large central left main PA thrombus, however intravascular calcifications seen on CT non-contrast in May 2021 suggest that at least some element of thrombus was present then. She has elevated BNP and a dilated RV on CT, LE doppler are negative for DVT.   --on heparin drip  --Echocardiogram pending  --PERT discussion would be useful to determine next steps, the suggested chronicity of the thrombus would make mechanical thrombectomy less successful.   Principal Problem:    Pulmonary embolism on left   Active Problems:    Right lung transplant due to IPF  CHIEF COMPLAINT:      Pulmonary embolism on left  ASSESSMENT / PLAN:        Right lung transplant due to IPF Assessment & Plan Dyspnea on exertion  In the setting of submassive PE in the setting of COVID-19  Acuity of PE unclear  CTA with left main PA thrombus  Discussed with IR, suspicion this was present on non-con CT last year  Will await definitive recommendations  Could possibly be developing pulmonary hypertension as RV strain seen on CT chest  Will obtain echo to evaluate for RVSP and function  Continue heparin gtt for now  Re-discuss with IR  COVID-19 infection       Diagnosed on 2/9  S/p MAB  CT with no acute infection  S/p Right lung transplant       Immunosuppression: - tacrolimus level 2.7 goal 3-5 due to renal dysfunction              - increase dose, recheck levels in 1-2 weeks - everolimus level 4, goal 4-6 - myfortic 360 mg BID due to history of leukopenia - prednisone 5 mg daily Prophylaxis:      - bactrim M/W/F - Acyclovir BID              - patient interested in reducing pill burden, could consider stopping  - azithromycin M/W/F CKD, renal function stable Diverticulosis - Hx Constipation Hematological problems/Anemia  - post op blood loss anemia - HGB stable  (baseline 11 pre op) - Injectafer q week x2.
