“…Evidence from two small randomized trials [TIPES (n = 58), Fasullo et al (n = 72)] demonstrated superior RV function improvements at 24 h (p = 0.04 and p \ 0.0001) with fibrinolytic therapy compared to placebo [28,29]. It is unclear, however, if this effect is maintained over time.…”

“…The adjunctive use of fibrinolytics in normotensive patients with acute PE and RVD results in quicker resolution of RV impairment and perfusion lung defect compared to treatment with anticoagulation alone [28,29]. Evidence from two small randomized trials [TIPES (n = 58), Fasullo et al (n = 72)] demonstrated superior RV function improvements at 24 h (p = 0.04 and p \ 0.0001) with fibrinolytic therapy compared to placebo [28,29].…”

“…To decide on the diagnosis and treatment, we used only clinical, laboratory, and echocardiographic findings. In a patient with suspected MPE who is in critical condition, bedside echocardiography is particularly helpful in emergency management decisions [3], but in the present case, the presence of pregnancy discouraged performing invasive imaging tests or treatments. Although there was a relative contraindication to thrombolysis [5], it was no longer relevant in the face of an extremely life-threatening situation for the mother and fetus.…”

“…Such targeting could help ensure that the correct diagnosis is suspected and adequately investigated, and allow the initiation of the timely and best possible treatment of this disease. Thrombolytic drugs can be considered for the treatment of patients who are hemodynamically unstable, or of patients with refractory hypoxemia [1] or right ventricular dysfunction on echocardiogram [2,3]. However, the high risk of major bleeding (in 4%-14% of treated patients with thrombolysis) limits their use [4].…”

“…Leczenie ŻChZZ u kobiet w ciąży wiąże się z ryzykiem krwawienia i teratogennego wpływu na dziecko. Trombolizę powinno się stosować u pacjentek niestabilnych hemodynamicznie, z nawracającą hipoksemią, przeciążeniem prawej komory w badaniu echokardiograficznym [2,3]. Poniżej przedstawiono przypadek kobiety w ciąży z masywną zatorowością płucną, która pomyślnie przeszła podwójną trombolizę.…”
