Why the study?
Surgical treatment of pulmonary embolism in patients with cardiogenic shock is a subject of active debate.
Does surgical pulmonary embolectomy improve hospital survival in patients with massive pulmonary embolism undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation?
Does surgical pulmonary embolectomy improve hospital survival in patients with massive pulmonary embolism undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation?
Emergency surgical pulmonary embolectomy during cardiopulmonary resuscitation for massive pulmonary embolism can yield excellent hospital survival and hemodynamic improvement.
May support emergency embolectomy during CPR in refractory high-risk PE; leaves open need for larger trials before practice change.
