SAN FRANCISCO, CA—A novel method of delivering drug therapy via ultrasound assistance appears effective in reversing right ventricular enlargement and dysfunction in patients with submassive pulmonary ...

An ultrasound-assisted thrombolysis strategy is more effective than heparin alone for reversing right ventricle dilation in patients with acute, intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism and is not ...

Clinical trials ULTIMA was the first prospective, multicenter study to investigate whether UFH with adjunctive fixed-dose USCDT was superior to UFH alone. Fifty-nine patients with submassive PE ...

Right ventricular ejection fraction, stroke volume index, 40 and right ventricular end-systolic volume index are informative measures for prognosis and risk stratification. 41 The ratio of stroke ...

Among patients with acute pulmonary embolism, ultrasound-assisted catheter-directed thrombolysis was associated with reduced complications, but patients at high risk remained vulnerable to short ...

A retrospective comparative case series of 25 patients with acute massive pulmonary embolism (PE) compared ultrasound‑enhanced, catheter‑directed thrombolysis (UE‑CDT; n=11) against catheter-directed ...

Carried out in collaboration with the Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT) Consortium, the trial enrolled 100 subjects. It aims to offer evidence on the role of CAVT in improving right heart ...

When administered in hemodynamically stable patients with right ventricular dysfunction due to acute pulmonary embolism (submassive pulmonary embolism), fibrinolytic therapy has been shown to ...

TOPLINE: Right ventricular global longitudinal strain (RVGLS) and right ventricular outflow tract velocity time integral (RVOT VTI) measurements were associated with mortality in critically ill ...

Approximately 45% of those with acute PE will experience right ventricular failure. The authors note that the right ventricle is designed to deal with a low resistance afterload.
