“The wisdom of applying this approach to patients with less severe intermediate-risk PE remains unclear and will benefit from additional studies.”

“This trial shows that a catheter intervention can indeed be effective and improve the prognosis for patients with severe PE and elevated risk of early death or life-threatening complications. If the right patients are selected for this procedure, it can prevent patients from deteriorating and it can do so at an acceptably low risk of bleeding complications.”
