Article Synopsis
  • Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) is a serious health issue, and a study compared the safety and effectiveness of ultrasound-facilitated catheter-directed thrombolysis (USCDT) to conventional catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) in treating patients with intermediate to high-risk APE.
  • In a retrospective analysis involving 135 patients, both treatments reduced the right ventricle to left ventricle (RV/LV) diameter ratio and pulmonary artery pressure without significant differences in efficacy between the two methods.
  • USCDT resulted in a lower occurrence of major bleeding events (0%) compared to CDT (3.4%), indicating that USCDT may provide a safer option for these patients.
