Implication

Observational study reveals early catheter-based therapy reduces 90-day mortality and readmission in high-risk pulmonary embolism, indicating the value of prompt reperfusion.

Key Points

To evaluate the clinical outcomes of early versus delayed catheter-based therapies in patients hospitalized with intermediate- or high-risk acute pulmonary embolism.
Assessed hospitalized patients presenting with intermediate- or high-risk acute pulmonary embolism receiving catheter-based therapy (CBT).
Compared 90-day clinical outcomes based on the timing of reperfusion intervention (early vs. delayed CBT).
Early catheter-based therapy was associated with a significantly lower risk of 90-day all-cause mortality and hospital readmission.
Prospective studies are required to define the exact optimal time window for catheter-directed reperfusion.
