A retrospective review of patients with massive and submassive pulmonary embolism treated with AngioJet rheolytic thrombectomy with decreased complications due to changes in thrombolytic use and procedural modifications.

Conclusion Major and minor complications were reduced compared to prior reports using ART. A modified ART approach towards treatment of high-risk PE appears promising both in terms of efficacy and safety. PMID: 28828935 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
