Interventional Therapy in Pulmonary Embolism Treatment: Expanding Benefits and Advancing Safety

Interventional Therapy in Pulmonary Embolism Treatment: Expanding Benefits and Advancing SafetyAcute pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a global health challenge with significant morbidity and mortality. High-risk PE, characterized by hemodynamic instability, and intermediate-risk PE, with evidence of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction, pose distinct therapeutic challenges. Traditionally, systemic thrombolysis and surgical embolectomy have been the primary therapeutic strategies. However, both approaches come with limitations, such as bleeding risks in thrombolysis and resource-intensive requirements in surgical embolectomy. In response, percutaneous catheter-directed therapies, including mechanical thrombectomy and catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT), have emerged as promising alternatives.

A Large-Diameter Thrombus Retrieving Device for Intermediate-Risk Acute Pulmonary Embolism Treatment: A Single-Arm Prospective Clinical Trial

Device for Intermediate-Risk Acute Pulmonary Embolism TreatmentAnnouncing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal.  Globally, acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third leading cause of cardiovascular-related deaths after myocardial infarction and stroke. Several studies have reported increased annual incidence of PE and consequently social medical burden. Determining how to treat acute PE more safely and effectively, while decreasing long-term complications, remains an important issue in medicine.

The aim of this study was to report the results of a single-arm clinical trial in (more…)
