  • Catheter-directed therapy for the treatment of massive pulmonary embolism: systematic review and meta-analysis of modern techniques.

    Kuo WT, Gould MK, Louie JD, Rosenberg JK, Sze DY, Hofmann LV. J Vasc Interv Radiol. 2009; 20 (11): 1431-40

    Systemic thrombolysis for the treatment of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) carries an estimated 20% risk of major hemorrhage, including a 3%-5% risk of hemorrhagic stroke. The authors used evidence-based methods to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of modern catheter-directed therapy (CDT) as an alternative treatment for massive PE.
