DOI: 10.1080/08998280.2023.2171699
Abstract: Abstract Massive and submassive pulmonary emboli (PE) are increasingly being treated with percutaneous lytic and embolectomy procedures. While these procedures are overwhelmingly safe, patients with significant right ventricular strain are at risk for hemodynamic compromise… read more here.
