EHJ Supplements · cohort study. Prior DVT, sPAP >60 mmHg predict 1-year pulmonary hypertension after PE catheter therapy. Clinical predictors of pulmonary hypertension at 1 year follow-up after pulmonary embolism treated by catheter-directed therapies 135 patients: PE patients treated with catheter-directed therapy. How the registry cohort was followed: Pulmonary embolism → Catheter-directed therapy → Echo at 1 year → sPAP >40 mmHg. 11.1% of patients: Had residual pulmonary hypertension at 1 year. 12.66 aOR with prior DVT. Baseline sPAP >60 mmHg: aOR 12.20. Bottom line: May warrant closer surveillance; hypothesis-generating pending larger prospective validation.
