Ultrasound-assisted catheter-directed thrombolysis for pulmonary embolism
We have read through the case report article with great interest, entitled “Combined catheter thrombus fragmentation and percutaneous thrombectomy in a patient with massive pulmonary emboli and acute cerebral infarct,” by Uğurlu et al. (1) and published in Anatol J Cardiol 2015; 15: 69-74. For the last two years, ultrasound-assisted catheter-directed thrombolytic (USAT) has been used as an alte...
متن کاملPulmonary artery catheter-directed thrombolysis for intermediate high risk acute pulmonary embolism
A case of 60-year-old male with acute pulmonary embolism without hypotension but signs of right ventricular dysfunction and elevated cardiac biomarkers is reported in this study. The patient comes under intermediate high-risk category and was successfully thrombolysed with alteplase infused through pulmonary artery catheter. Catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) can be considered as much safer a...
متن کاملCatheter-directed interventions for acute pulmonary embolism.
Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality. Systemic anticoagulation is the standard of care, and treatment can be escalated in the setting of massive or submassive PE, given the high mortality risk. A secondary consideration for intervention is the prevention of late-onset chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Treatment options include systemic thromb...
متن کاملCatheter-directed therapy for submassive pulmonary embolism after unsuccessful systemic thrombolysis
Catheter-directed therapy (CDT) has emerged as an important treatment for pulmonary embolism (PE). We present a patient with life-threatening submassive PE with transient hypotension, progressive right ventricular dysfunction, and respiratory failure who failed anticoagulation and had little improvement with systemic thrombolysis, but responded well to catheter-directed therapy.
متن کاملRandomized, controlled trial of ultrasound-assisted catheter-directed thrombolysis for acute intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism.
BACKGROUND In patients with acute pulmonary embolism, systemic thrombolysis improves right ventricular (RV) dilatation, is associated with major bleeding, and is withheld in many patients at risk. This multicenter randomized, controlled trial investigated whether ultrasound-assisted catheter-directed thrombolysis (USAT) is superior to anticoagulation alone in the reversal of RV dilatation in in...
