Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis for Submassive Pulmonary Embolism [PDF]
AbstractAcute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. PE associated with right ventricular strain, termed submassive or intermediate-risk PE, is associated with an increased rate of clinical deterioration and short-term mortality.

Stability of alteplase for ultrasound-facilitated catheter-directed thrombolysis [PDF]
Abstract Ultrasound-facilitated catheter-directed thrombolysis is used with low-dose alteplase to treat pulmonary embolism. This reduces the risk of bleeding that accompanies systemic administration of higher alteplase doses. Some studies suggest that alteplase given over 2 to 6 hours is safe and effective, but there are few data to ...
