Phanicharan Sistla et al. Interv Cardiol Clin. 2023 Jul.

Abstract

Venous thromboembolism is a common disorder encompassing both pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). In the United States, up to 2 million people are diagnosed with DVT and 600,000 with PE annually. The purpose of this review is to discuss the indications and evidence for catheter-directed thrombolysis versus catheter-based thrombectomy.

Keywords: Catheter-based thrombectomy; Catheter-directed thrombolysis; Pulmonary embolism; Venous thromboembolism.
