Evidence-Based Update on Transcatheter Therapies for Pulmonary Embolism

Published in:

Abstract

Purpose of Review

Pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Multiple new therapies are in development and under study to improve our contemporary care of patients with PE. We review and compare here these novel therapeutics and technologies.

Recent Findings

Multiple novel therapeutic devices have been developed and are under active study. This work has advanced the care of patients with intermediate and high-risk PE.

Summary

Novel therapies are improving care of complex PE patients. These have inspired large multicenter international randomized controlled trials that are actively recruiting patients to advance the care of PE. These studies will work towards advancing guidelines for clinical care of patients with PE.
