Stefano Barco: Outcomes of Ultrasound-Assisted CDT in Acute-on-Chronic Pulmonary Embolism
Stefano Barco, Professor and Deputy Director of the Department of Vascular Medicine at University Hospital Zurich, shared 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.”
