Pulmonary vascular disease & thromboembolism
Efficacy and safety of catheter-based thrombectomy versus catheter-directed thrombolysis in acute pulmonary embolism
Authors' conclusion
When compared with performance goal for CDT based on historical studies, CBT was noninferior for all-cause mortality (6.0% vs 6.87%; P-valueNI < .001), non-inferior and superior for major bleeding (4.9% vs 11%; P-valueNI < .001 and P < .001 for superiority).
