Thrombolysis Endovascular Treatment of Pulmonary Embolism (STEP)

November 26, 2020 updated by: Beijing Tsinghua Chang Gung Hospital

Single-dose rtPA Thrombolysis Endovascular Treatment of Pulmonary Embolism With Right Ventricular Dysfunction:a Pilot Study

To assess the efficacy and safety of endovascular thrombolysis of pulmonary embolism with right ventricular dysfunction with single-dose rtPA

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The patients with right ventricular dysfunction who are diagnosed by CT pulmonary angiography will receive 20 mg of single-dose recombinant tissue plasminogen activator delivered through the in this study. The Change of RV to LV Diameter Ratio,Rate of death,rate of major bleeding,pulmonary embolism recurrence at 1month will be reviewed to assess the efficacy and safety.
