Mid term result of transcatheter thrombolysis for acute pulmonary embolism / 中华普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective Pulmonary embolism is a common cardiovascular emergency with the characteristics of high incidence,high mortality.This study compared pulmonary artery catheter thrombolysis with peripheral intravenous thrombolysis for acute pulmonary embolism in the mid-term clinical efficacy.Methods From June 2011 to September 2015,68 patients were given pulmonary artery interventional therapy,54 cases received peripheral intravenous thrombolysis;discharged patients were followed up for 3-12 months to evaluate the curative rate,effective rate,recurrence rate and the incidence of complications.Results Follow up rate was 79.5％.The cure rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group (47.3 ％ vs 23.8 ％,P ＜ 0.05);The significant effective rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group (81.8％ vs 52.4％,P ＜ 0.05);The incidence of Chronic pulmonary hypertension (1.8％) was lower than that of the control group (16.7％);There was no significant difference in improvement rate,recurrence rate and mortality.Conclusion The medium-term efficacy of pulmonary artery catheter directed thrombolysis is superior to that of peripheral intravenous thrombolysis;it can effectively reduce the incidence of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
