Preface
The fact that pulmonary thromboembolism is still associated with a high rate of mortality in Japan has led to the International Symposium for Pulmonary Thromboembolism being held regularly in the country. The first was con- vened in 1998 in Yokkaichi, Mie, as the International Symposium on Pul- monary Embolism. This was organized by Professor T. Nakano and Professor S.Z. Goldhaber and the proceedings were published by Springer-Verlag, Tokyo, under the title Pulmonary Embolism. The second was held in 2000 in Chiba as the Millennium Symposium on Pulmonary Thromboembolism. This event was under the auspices of Professor N. Nakajima and Professor T.
Kuriyama. Most recently, this commemorative book has been compiled, based on the International Symposium on Pulmonary Thromboembolism, held in Sendai on November 2, 2003.
This collection of work from specialists in the field addresses certain fea- tures specific to Japan in terms of epidemiological analysis, the treatment of pulmonary thromboembolism, traveler’s thrombosis, and the prevention of deep vein thromboembolism, the latter being a possible direct cause of pul- monary thromboembolism.
As you may notice after reading this book, there are some differences between conditions in Japan and in Western countries, particularly in treat- ment selection and prevention of the disease. For example, in Japan, inferior vena cava filters tend to be used frequently, and percutaneous cardiopul- monary support, or PCPS, is applied without hesitation to treat patients in a serious condition.
We realize that the clinical skill level in Japan for treating pulmonary thromboembolism must catch up with that in the West, and we believe that a different approach to treatment selection could result in new evidence and, ultimately, in progress in the medical treatment of this disease.
My deepest thanks go to the contributors, the senior members of Tohoku University’s First Department of Internal Medicine, and the fellows of the V
Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, who have all helped make this book the valuable resource that it is.
