Abstract

The treatment of intermediate- and high-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) is experiencing dramatic changes given the ineligibility of many patients for systemic thrombolysis and the potential associated complications. Catheter-directed interventions (CDIs) are increasingly performed for acute PE as they are presumed to provide similar therapeutic benefits compared to systemic thrombolysis while decreasing the dose of thrombolytic required and the associated risks. This chapter reviews catheter-directed interventions for acute PE including the indications, available techniques, clinical effectiveness, complication rates, and long-term outcomes.
