The Efficacy of Pharmacomechanical Thrombolysis in the Treatment of Acute Pulmonary Thromboembolism and Deep Venous Thrombosis

  • Conference paper
Venous Thromboembolism

Conclusions

No conclusions could be drawn from this study because of the limited number of subjects, but the results did suggest that PMT provides the possibility of earlier thrombolysis compared to peripheral venous administration in the treatment of APTE. In the future, we need to conduct a study with a larger number of cases.

PMT for proximal DVT is effective in achieving early thrombolysis, and the combined use of a nonpermanent filter made it possible to prevent the onset of APTE, a serious complication of intervention.
