Unloading of Right Ventricle and Clinical Improvement after Ultrasound-Accelerated Thrombolysis in Patients with Submassive Pulmonary Embolism
Figure 1
(a) The parasternal short axis view from echocardiography shows dilatation of the right ventricle (green line). (b) The CT-thorax with contrast filling defect in the right main pulmonary artery confirms the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. (c) The fluoroscopy illustrates the placement of ultrasound-accelerated thrombolysis catheter in the right main pulmonary artery. (d) The improvement in right ventricular function after UAT (green asterisk).
