Abstract:

Treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE) is still an urgent problem worldwide due to complications of systemic thrombolytic therapy. This review examines ultrasound catheter thrombolysis using the EKOS system, indications, patient selection and current state of the issue. The device itself, appropriate manipulations and several clinical cases in the Russian Federation are described in detail. The authors described implantation technique and ultrasound thrombolysis.

Keywords:

pulmonary embolism
ultrasound thrombolysis
endovascular surgery
thrombolytic therapy
EKOS
