Retrospective analysis shows mechanical thrombectomy improves survival and reduces hospital stay in PE patients, indicating its potential benefits in acute cases.
Key Points
Mechanical thrombectomy significantly reduces the odds of 30-day all-cause mortality in patients with pulmonary embolism.
Patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy had a 2-day shorter hospital stay compared to those receiving anticoagulation alone.
Usage of mechanical thrombectomy resulted in a lower proportion of patients needing supplemental oxygen at discharge.
The technical success rate of mechanical thrombectomy was 100%, highlighting its efficacy in treating pulmonary embolism.
