Background Pulmonary embolism is a condition of right cardiac dysfunction due to pulmonary circulation obstruction. Malignant tumor-induced pulmonary embolism, which has a poor therapeutic outcome and a significant impact on hemodynamics, is the cause of sudden death in patients with malignant tumors.

Massive pulmonary embolism (MPE) carries significant 30-day mortality and is characterized by acute right ventricular failure, hypotension, and hypoxia, leading to cardiovascular collapse and cardiac arrest. Considerable heterogeneity in studies is a significant weakness of the available literature.

Notably, acute massive pulmonary embolism (PE) with bilateral atrial thrombosis is an exceptional occurrence in CAPS. Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common cardiovascular disease that progresses rapidly and has a high mortality rate. It primarily affects small vessels, seldom impacting large vessels.

Common embolism sites include the brain, spleen, kidneys, lungs, and intestines. Additionally, acute heart failure (AHF) can occur in up to 40% of cases, and its presence can impact the clinical outcomes of patients with IE. Cardiogenic shock (CGS) is often more likely to occur after AHF has taken place.

Previous studies have noted that ICAD-related LVOs, compared to embolic occlusions, have longer procedural times and lower successful reperfusion rates. However, clinical outcomes remain similar. Patient outcomes at 3 months were assessed using modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores, defining devastating outcomes as mRS 5-6.
