Abstract
Pulmonary embolism is a life-threatening condition treated with anticoagulation and systemic thrombolysis when appropriate. In patients with contraindications to thrombolysis, catheter-directed thrombolysis may be considered. Here, we present a patient with massive pulmonary embolus and 3 contraindications to systemic thrombolysis who was successfully treated with pharmacomechanical thrombolysis using the Ekosonic Endovascular System.
