Mechanical thrombectomy was associated with better survival outcomes across patient risk categories and time-to-treatment.
BOSTON — The sooner that patients with acute pulmonary embolism get treated with mechanical thrombectomy, the greater the likelihood that they will have favorable short- and long-term outcomes, regardless of their degree of initial risk, a study of registry data showed.
"There's mortality benefit in any case whether the patient is high-risk or intermediate-high.
Comparing clinical characteristics between the groups, the investigators noted that significantly more patients in the short time group vs long time group were categorized as high-risk . This difference is likely due to the need for greater urgency among high-risk patients, Patel said. The mean time to thrombectomy was 6.08 hours in the short time group vs 34.04 hours in the long time group. Their respective median times were 6.01 and 24.73 hours.The location of the treated thrombus was central only in 35.1% and 26.5% patients in the short and long time groups, respectively. Lobar-only thrombi were treated in 7.9% and 14.3%, respectively, and both central and lobar thrombi were treated in 57.0% and 59.2%, respectively.
