Comparison of hemodynamic and echocardiographic outcomes before and after CDT.
| | Variables | Before CDT | 24 hours after CDT | |
| | Systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (mmHg) | 55 (44–66) | 42 (34–53) | 0.0015 | | Mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mmHg) | 32 (29–37) | 26 (20–30) | <0.0001 | | Diastolic pulmonary arterial pressure (mmHg) | 20 (17–23) | 14 (12–17) | 0.0006 | | Miller index score | 21.5 (20–23) | 9.5 (8–13) | <0.0001 | | RV/LV ratio | 1.3 (1.3–1.5) | 1.0 (0.9–1.0) | <0.0001 | | TAPSE (mm) | 16 (13–19) | 20 (19–23) | 0.001 | | Arterial blood saturation (%) | 88.5 (84.2–93) | 95 (93.8–96) | 0.0051 | | HR (per minute) | 110 (100–120) | 85 (80–90) | <0.0001 | | SBP (mmHg) | 106 (90–127) | 123 (110–133) | 0.049 |

Values are median (IQR). CDT = catheter-directed mechanical aspiration thrombectomy, HR = heart rate, LV = left ventricle, RV = right ventricle, SBP = systolic blood pressure, and TAPSE = tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion.
