Mechanical breakdown and thrombolysis in subacute massive pulmonary embolism: A prospective trial

Figure 1 Pulmonary angiography. A: Total cut off of right pulmonary artery; B: Mechanical breakdown and intra pulmonary urokinase administration; C: Post procedural pulmonary angiography revealing restoration of pulmonary flow in right pulmonary artery and its branches.

Figure 2 Hemodyamic parameters of 8 patients with subacute pulmonary embolism at presentation and 24 h post procedure. Highly significant improvement in mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), stroke index (SI) and millers index and significant improvement in heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) post procedure.
