The first randomized trial of pulmonary embolism interventions shows mechanical thrombectomy has advantages over catheter-directed thrombolysis.
, according to a randomized trial comparing the two interventions. Although there was no difference in major events, mechanical thrombectomy had a list of advantages including faster clinical and hemodynamic improvement.
There were no significant differences between study arms for the first three of the five components, which were all-cause mortality,, and bleeding. Rather, the differences were driven by the last two endpoints, which were clinical deterioration and intensive care unit admission.The win ratio of 5.01 produced a highly significant result in favor of mechanical thrombectomy.
Along with a better outcome for thrombectomy on the primary endpoint, patients in this group had less dyspnea, and a higher proportion of those in the thrombolysis group had moderate to severe impairment of right ventricular function on. Jabar also pointed out that patients randomized to thrombectomy had both a shorter postprocedural length of stay and a shorter total hospital stay .
