The role of fibrinolytic therapy in patients with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism is controversial.In a randomized, double-blind trial, we compared tenecteplase plus heparin placebo normotensive embolism. Eligible had right ventricular dysfunction on echocardiography or computed tomography, as well myocardial injury indicated by positive test for cardiac troponin I T. primary outcome was death hemodynamic decompensation (or collapse) within 7 days after randomization. main safety...

Background Thrombolytic treatment has been shown to accelerate resolution of major pulmonary embolism and lead a rapid improvement right-side hemodynamics. However, the association between these favorable effects clinical outcome patients who have no severe hemodynamic compromise at presentation remains unknown. Methods Results The present multicenter registry included 719 consecutive with according clinical, echocardiographic, scintigraphic, cardiac catheterization criteria. Symptom onset...

Background— Assessment of risk and appropriate management patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a challenge. Cardiac troponins I (cTnI) T (cTnT) are reliable indicators myocardial injury may be associated right ventricular dysfunction in PE. Methods Results— The present prospective study included 106 consecutive confirmed cTnI was elevated (≥0.07 ng/mL) 43 (41%), cTnT (≥0.04 39 (37%). Elevation or significantly echocardiographically detected ( P =0.001 <0.05, respectively)....

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third most common cardiovascular cause of death; systemic thrombolysis potentially lifesaving treatment in patients presenting with haemodynamic instability. We investigated trends use and outcome acute PE.We analysed data on characteristics, comorbidities, treatment, in-hospital 885 806 PE Germany between 2005 2015.

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are chromatin filaments released by activated polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) and decorated with granule proteins various properties. Several lines of evidence implicate NETs in thrombosis.
