In intermediate-high-risk pulmonary embolism, adding catheter-directed thrombolysis to anticoagulation improved clinical outcomes at 7 days.
- Why it matters: Intermediate-high-risk PE has substantial early morbidity, and standard anticoagulation may not adequately address rapid clinical deterioration.
- What they did: The study evaluated catheter-directed thrombolysis added to anticoagulation and assessed clinical outcomes at 7 days in intermediate-high-risk PE.
- The result: The 7-day improvement suggests this combined approach may better stabilize patients early, supporting its consideration for intermediate-high-risk PE.
