Mechanical Thrombectomy as an Effective Treatment for Pulmonary Embolism in Intermediate-high risk patients

Abstract

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a significant cause of hospitalization and death worldwide. Therapy controversies arise in intermediate high-risk patients without signs of hemodynamic instability but with clinical characteristics of more severe PE. This case report demonstrates a successful resolution of PE with endovascular mechanical thrombectomy.
