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.

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.

Simple and secure thrombectomy without circulatory arrest for acute pulmonary embolism

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery

Surgical pulmonary artery thrombectomy is a well-established emergency treatment for massive pulmonary embolism (PE) in which fibrinolysis or thrombolysis are not effective. However, surgery for massive PE tha.

Clinical Outcomes and Predictors of Advanced Therapy for the Management of Right Heart Thrombus

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

Background:The role of advanced therapies (systemic thrombolysis, catheter-based treatment, and surgical thrombectomy) for the management of right heart thrombus is poorly defined. 0.99]) and concurrent pulmonary embolism (odds ratio, 5.36 [95% CI, 2.48–12.1]) Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Ahead of Print.

Can we assess RV Function from JVP?

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

The usefulness of JVP in a cardiac emergency like acute pulmonary embolism may appear superfluous. In these situations, the humble neck veins can assist us in the decision to thrombolysis or the need for any newer intrapulmonary Interventions under RV assist system. One such thought is described in this animation.

Women and Black Patients Less Likely to Receive Catheter-based Treatment for Pulmonary Embolism According to REAL-PE Analysis Presented at SCAI 2024

DAIC

Women and black patients were less frequently treated with minimally invasive therapy compared to men or non-Black patients, according to new data from the REAL-PE analysis which investigated catheter-based pulmonary embolism (PE) treatment. Late-breaking results from the study, for which Sahil A.
