Prospective Multicenter International Registry of Ultrasound-Facilitated Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis in Intermediate-High and High-Risk Pulmonary Embolism (KNOCOUT PE)

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

BACKGROUND:Prior clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of ultrasound-facilitated catheter-directed thrombolysis (USCDT) for the treatment of acute intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) using reduced thrombolytic doses and shorter infusion durations.

Case Report: Thrombus aspiration and in situ thrombolysis via a Guidezilla guide extension catheter in a patient with high-risk pulmonary embolism

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

In this case report, we demonstrated that thrombus aspiration and in situ thrombolysis through the Guidezilla GEC are applicable to patients with PE in whom systemic thrombolysis is contraindicated, resulting in successful reperfusion and positive clinical outcomes.

Large-bore mechanical thrombectomy yields better outcomes for intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

Findings from the first international randomized controlled trial to compare patient outcomes following treatment with large-bore mechanical thrombectomy (LBMT) versus catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) for intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) show that LBMT is superior with respect to the hierarchically-tested aggregated outcome of all-cause (..)

Impact of Time to Catheter-Based Therapy on Outcomes in Acute Pulmonary Embolism

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

BACKGROUND:The aim of this study was to examine the impact of early versus delayed catheter-based therapies (CBTs) on clinical outcomes in patients with acute intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE).METHODS:This Secondary outcomes included a composite of 30-day mortality, resuscitated cardiac arrest, and hemodynamic instability.

Abstract 236: Effects of intravenous thrombolysis on thrombectomy outcomes: a systematic review and meta?analysis

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionEfficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is still debatable. However, IVT's efficacy on stent retriever (SR) and aspiration thrombectomy (ASP) outcomes specifically remain unclear. ResultsWe included four randomized controlled trials with 1176 patients.

Abstract WP199: Outcomes Following Posterior Cerebral Artery Thrombolysis vs Medical Management in those with Atrial Fibrillation

Stroke Journal

Background:The benefits of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for posterior cerebral artery (PCA) occlusion remain controversial, but intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) has proven benefit across nearly all ischemic stroke types.

Abstract TP195: Impact of Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease on Thrombectomy Outcomes in Acute Cerebral Infarction With Large Vessel Occlusion

Stroke Journal

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.
