Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness and safety of catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) for treating intermediate- or high-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) compared to other therapies like systemic thrombolysis and anticoagulation.
- Analysis of data from 44 studies involving over 20,000 patients showed that CDT significantly reduced the risk of death and major bleeding compared to systemic thrombolysis, while maintaining similar risks for minor bleeding.
- The findings suggest that CDT may offer a safer option with lower mortality rates than systemic thrombolysis, and possibly fewer deaths than anticoagulation, though the results are primarily based on observational data rather than randomized controlled trials.
