Purpose Many echocardiographic indices (or methods) for assessing right ventricular (RV)
function are available, but each has its strengths and limitations. In some cases, there might …

Objectives Ideal treatment strategies for submassive and massive pulmonary embolism
remain unclear. Recent reports of surgical pulmonary embolectomy have demonstrated …

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, short-and long-term

High-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) refers to a large embolic burden causing right
ventricular failure and hemodynamic instability. It accounts for approximately 5% of all cases …

Results: Common risk factors for acute PE were major surgery within 3 months and deep
