Official Title: A randomized trial of ultrasound-facilitated, catheter-directed, thrombolysis versus anticoagulation for acute intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism: The higher-risk pulmonary embolism thrombolysis study.
Study Purpose: To assess whether ultrasound-facilitated, catheter-directed, thrombolysis and anticoagulation are associated with a significant reduction in the composite outcome of pulmonary embolism (PE)-related mortality, cardiorespiratory decompensation or collapse, or nonfatal symptomatic and objectively confirmed recurrence of PE compared to anticoagulation alone within seven days of randomization.
