Systemic Thrombolysis Increases Hemorrhagic Stroke Risk without Survival Benefit Compared to Catheter-Directed Intervention for the Treatment of Acute Pulmonary Embolism

摘要

BackgroundSystemic thrombolysis (ST) and catheter-directed intervention (CDI) are both used in the treatment of acute pulmonary embolism (PE), but the comparative outcomes of these two therapies remain unclear. The objective of this study was to compare short-term mortality and safety outcomes between the two treatments using a large national database.
