Prognostic Impact of Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction Risk Index on Hospitalization Mortality of Patient with Acute Pulmonary Embolism
Introduction: Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is one of the deadly cardiovascular diseases. One of the indexes proposed in these patients for risk stratification is the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk index (TRI), which includes three parameters of systolic blood pressure, age, and heart rate. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of TRI on in-hospit...
متن کاملUltrasound-assisted thrombolysis for acute pulmonary embolism: a systematic review.
Pulmonary embolism remains a common and potentially life-threatening disease. For patients with intermediate- and high-risk pulmonary embolism, catheter-based revascularization therapy has emerged as potential alternative to systemic thrombolysis or surgical embolectomy. Ultrasound-assisted catheter-directed thrombolysis is a contemporary catheter-based technique and is the focus of the present...
متن کاملUltrasound Assisted Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis of Acute Pulmonary Embolism: A Review of Current Literature
Pulmonary embolism continues as a very common and also presumably life-threatening disorder. For affected individuals with intermediate- as well as high-risk pulmonary embolism, catheter-based revascularization procedures have developed a possible substitute for systemic thrombolysis or for surgical embolectomy. Ultrasound-assisted catheter-directed thrombolysis is an innovative catheter-based ...
متن کاملEkosonic Endovascular System (EKOS) in a trauma patient with intracranial bleed, recent major surgery, and massive pulmonary embolus: A case report
Pulmonary embolism is a life-threatening condition treated with anticoagulation and systemic thrombolysis when appropriate. In patients with contraindications to thrombolysis, catheter-directed thrombolysis may be considered. Here, we present a patient with massive pulmonary embolus and 3 contraindications to systemic thrombolysis who was successfully treated with pharmacomechanical thrombolysi...
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...
