Stefano Barco and Colleagues Comparative Outcomes of Ultrasound-Assisted Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis
Stefano Barco, Professor and Deputy Director, Department of Vascular Medicine (Angiologie), University Hospital Zurich, shared an insightful post on LinkedIn:
“What is the outcome of patients with acute-on-chronic pulmonary embolism treated with ultrasound-assisted catheter-directed thrombolysis?
Take home message: check CT signs of chronicity at baseline and measure PAP values before removing the catheters after local lysis!
First study on this topic done by Riccardo Fumagalli and Conrad von Stempel”

Authors: Riccardo M. Fumagalli, Conrad von Stempel, William Pleming, Frederikus A. Klok, Stavros V. Konstantinides, Nils Kucher, Bhavin Rawal, Luca Valerio, Stefano Barco
