Brief Summary

Measure early out comes of surgical pulmonary embolectomy in patients with massive and sub massive pulmonary embolism.

Detailed Description

* Pulmonary embolism (PE) is one of the most important causes of mortality in cardiovascular diseases. It represents the third cause of mortality after myocardial infarction and stroke. * Risk factors...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patient with massive pulmonary embolism or high-risk patients characterized by :
  • Evidence of low-cardiac-output syndrome or clinical shock attributed to PE as the underlying cause, based on 1 or more of the following: systemic arterial systolic blood pressure\<90 mm Hg, need for positive inotrope or systemic vasoconstrictor support, need for mechanical circulatory support, cardiac arrest, or profound bradycardia (heart rate\<40 bpm).
  • CT pulmonary angiography demonstrating a thrombus which occludes greater than 50% of the pulmonary artery (PA) cross-sectional area or occludes two or more lobar arteries.
  • Echocardiography both Trans thoracic and Trans esophageal shows right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction, RV dilation, or a RV/left ventricular (LV) diameter ratio of \>0.9 on four chamber view.
  • Elevated cardiac troponin T and I above normal limits.
  • Patients with sub massive pulmonary embolism or intermediate -high risk characterized by:
  • Systolic blood pressure \>90 mmHg and tachycardia (heart rate \> 100 bpm).
  • CT pulmonary angiography shows that 30% to 50% of the pulmonary vasculature is occluded.
  • Echocardiography both Trans thoracic and Trans esophageal shows right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction, RV dilation, or a RV/left ventricular (LV) diameter ratio of \>0.9 on four chamber view.
  • Elevated cardiac troponin T and I above normal limits

Exclusion

  • Patients less than 18 years of age.
  • Low risk acute pulmonary embolism (less than 30% occlusion of pulmonary vasculature by CT pulmonary angiography, no signs of Rt ventricular systolic dysfunction, RV dilation or a RV/left ventricular (LV) diameter ratio of \>0.9 on four chamber view by Echocardiography.
  • Acute on top of chronic pulmonary embolism.
