Catheter-directed thrombolysis trumps systemic anticoagulation for submassive pulmonary embolism
Catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) is superior to systemic anticoagulation (SA) for the treatment of submassive pulmonary embolism (sPE), leading to better mortality rates without additional safety signals, a recent meta-analysis has found.
