In patients with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE), does ultrasound-facilitated, catheter-directed fibrinolysis (US-CDT) plus anticoagulation improve clinical outcomes compared to anticoagulation alone?
The optimal treatment strategy for intermediate-risk (submassive) pulmonary embolism remains controversial. These patients are not in shock, but they have right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and myocardial injury, which are associated with higher risk for clinical decompensation and adverse outcomes.
