Catheter-based thrombectomy for clot-in-transit and massive pulmonary embolism in a young patient with rheumatoid arthritis: inflammation as a hidden catalyst for catastrophic thromboembolism
Rheumatoid arthritis is a risk factor for pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, and venous thromboembolism.Catheter-directed mechanical thrombectomy for massive pulmonary embolism with clot-in-transit is a promising, minimally invasive alternative to systemic thrombolysis.
