First‐line treatment of high‐risk pulmonary embolism with persistent hypotension and/or signs of shock is intravenous thrombolysis. However, if thrombolysis is contraindicated due to risk of serious bleeding, or if it yields insufficient effect, surgical thrombectomy or catheter‐directed intervention (CDI) plus anticoagulation is recommended.
