Landmark Clinical Trials

Trials assessing the diagnosis

1. PIOPED (Prospective Investigation in Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis) (1989).[1]

  • Purpose : To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of two major, widely used technologies, radionuclear imaging (ventilation-perfusion scanning) and pulmonary angiography, for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism.
  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design: Primary Purpose: Diagnostic


2. PIOPED II (Prospective Investigation in Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis II) (2002).[2]

  • Purpose : It was designed to assess the efficacy of the spiral computed tomographic pulmonary angiogram in patients suspected of having acute pulmonary embolism (PE).
  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design: Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
  • Comparison with PIOPED: In contrast to the original PIOPED study, which used contrast pulmonary angiography as the primary reference test for PE, PIOPED II used composite reference test for venous thromboembolism that was based on the ventilation/perfusion lung scan, venous compression ultrasound of the lower extremities, digital subtraction pulmonary angiography, and contrast venography in various combinations to establish the PE status of the patient. New criteria for ventilation/perfusion lung scan diagnosis were developed for PIOPED II.
