    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Interventional Radiology

    Background:

    • Pulmonary embolism (PE) management has advanced beyond anticoagulation.
    • Surgical options are crucial for patients requiring intervention.
    • Intraluminal and transvenous techniques represent significant progress.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the evolution and current state of surgical interventions for pulmonary embolism.
    • To highlight the efficacy of intraluminal methods and transvenous extraction.
    • To emphasize the accessibility of emergency PE management.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of intraluminal vena caval filtration for PE prevention.
    • Description of transvenous extraction techniques for acute PE.
    • Discussion of emergency management protocols for major PE.

    Main Results:

    • Surgical interventions, including vena caval filters and clot extraction, are established treatments for PE.
    • Transvenous methods enable effective emergency management of major PE.
    • These procedures can be performed in facilities without cardiopulmonary bypass capabilities.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical management, particularly transvenous techniques, plays a vital role in treating pulmonary embolism.
    • Advanced surgical options expand treatment possibilities for PE patients.
    • Emergency PE intervention is feasible with modern transvenous approaches.
