Abstract
- Treatment of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) historically included anticoagulation and systemic thrombolytic therapy. More recently, catheter guided interventions provided promise of mitigating bleeding risks usually associated with systemic thrombolysis in intermediate to high risk PE patients. Catheter based interventions can broadly be divided into catheter directed thrombolysis and catheter based embolectomy. Both modalities are currently undergoing active research and each has their respective risks and benefits. The decision to administer these advanced therapies for acute PE can be challenging but can be accomplished via a multi-disciplinary PE response team.
