Role of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Pulmonary Embolism

This case study explores the role of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the development of pulmonary embolism (PE). It discusses the pathophysiology of IBD and its impact on the coagulation cascade, as well as the association between IBD and the risk of developing PE. The study also highlights the potential role of steroid treatment in increasing the risk of PE in IBD patients.
