Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The 2019 ESC guideline for the diagnosis and management of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) recommended thrombolytic therapy only in high-risk PE cases because of the bleeding risk. The most often used drug for thrombolysis is the rtPA and the recommended dose is 100 mg over two hours. According to the literature, the risk of major haemorrhage is 10-13% and fatal or intracranial bleeding is 1.7-3.6% among patients receiving thrombolysis.
