Aspiration thrombectomy compared to catheter directed thrombolysis in pulmonary embolism: Outcomes from a tertiary referral center
Both CBT options are promising for treating acute submassive or massive PE, with efficacy outcomes favoring aspiration thrombectomy. Presence of chronic lung disease was associated with lower response to CBT in terms of reversal of RV dysfunction. Longer follow-up and randomized controlled trials are needed for definitive conclusions.
