Catheter Thrombectomy in Clinically Intermediate-High Risk But Angiographically Massive Pulmonary Embolism
The authors describe the successful treatment of a patient with angiographically massive but clinically only intermediate-high PE, using percutaneous transcatheter mechanical thrombectomy, resulting in removal of an embolus of a rather unusually long length. The patient's clinical condition rapidly improved with excellent follow-up CONCLUSIONS: Interventional treatment of acute PE is emerging as an efficacious and safe strategy.
