Only two management studies have used helical CT. The first study showed a relatively high number of recurrent events. The second study showed promising results, albeit that a substantial proportion of patients with a normal helical CT received anticoagulant therapy. Further management studies are required to demonstrate the safety of withholding anticoagulant therapy in patients with suspected PE and a normal helical CT.
