Article Synopsis
- Management of floating right heart thrombi (FRHT) in patients with acute pulmonary emboli is debated, with new data suggesting systemic thrombolytic therapy may be more effective and have better survival rates than surgery.
- This case series details the outcomes of five patients who received "half-dose" thrombolytic therapy (50 mg of alteplase) for FRHT, resulting in complete resolution of thrombi and improved heart function.
- There were no bleeding complications noted, indicating that half-dose therapy could be a safe and effective option for patients at high risk for bleeding, warranting further research with larger study populations.
