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: PROS1 (c.76+2_76+3del) pathogenic mutation causes pulmonary embolism

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Genetic protein S (PS) deficiency caused by PROS1 gene mutation is an important risk factor for hereditary thrombophilia.Case introductionIn this case, we report a 28-year-old male patient who developed a severe pulmonary embolism during his visit. Ultrasound showed no thrombosis in the veins of both lower limbs.

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. PE affects around 900,000 people in the U.S.

Ep 203 Intermediate Risk Pulmonary Embolism Risk Stratification, Management and Algorithm

ECG Cases

Should these patients receive anticoagulation alone, or is thrombolysis warranted? The post Ep 203 Intermediate Risk Pulmonary Embolism Risk Stratification, Management and Algorithm appeared first on Emergency Medicine Cases. How do you predict which intermediate-risk patients will suddenly deteriorate?

Anterior OMI with RBBB has VF x 3: how to prevent further episodes of VF?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

On arrival in the ED, a bedside ultrasound showed poor LV function (as predicted by the Queen of Hearts) with diffuse B-lines. Chest X-ray also showed pulmonary edema. Primary VF in this study refers to fibrillation occurring in the absence of shock or pulmonary edema. Initial BP was 120/96, HR 102, SpO2 98%. Potassium was 4.5
