Early mechanical thrombectomy for intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism did not affect in-hospital mortality but may reduce pulmonary artery pressures and intubation compared to delayed treatment.
Does early mechanical thrombectomy reduce in-hospital mortality compared to delayed mechanical thrombectomy in patients with intermediate-risk acute pulmonary embolism?
Early mechanical thrombectomy for intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism may improve hemodynamics and reduce the need for intubation, despite not significantly affecting in-hospital mortality.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
In patients presenting with intermediate-risk PE, timing of mechanical thrombectomy did not influence in-hospital mortality. EI may result in greater reductions in pulmonary artery pressures and decreased incidence of intubation compared with DI.
