Moderate protein-calorie malnutrition 03/05/2018   Discharge Disposition:  Home without services Active Issues Requiring Follow-up: Lung transplant clinic follow up to review need for anticoagulation DETAILS OF HOSPITAL STAY: PRESENTING PROBLEM: Dyspnea   HOSPITAL COURSE: Presented with increasing dyspnea, fatigue. 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.
