Abstract:
Three cases of acute massive pulmonary thromboembolism were treated with the superselective infusion of tissue-plasminogen activator. Superselective pulmonary angiography immediately after administration of tissue-plasminogen activator demonstrated angiographic improvement in all patients. No complications were encountered during or after the procedure. It is considered that superselective infusion of tissue-plasminogen activator can be an effective therapy for massive pulmonary thromboembolism.
