Figure 1. The patient with high-risk PE showing hemodynamic
collapse, who were successfully treated with ECMO as an adjunct to EKOS
acoustic pulse thrombolysis. 3.52 L. ECMO flow and
1.72L/min/m2 cardiac index was achieved and the
patient stabilized hemodynamically.
Figure 2. ( A) Selective Pulmonary angiography shows a massive
pulmonary embolism in the right main pulmonary artery (B) The EKOS
infusion catheter was positioned at the distal edge of the thrombus (C)
Post treatment angiography shows complete resolution of clot burden and
normal perfusion of the right lung.
Figure 3. (A) Initial computed tomography image shows large
saddle thrombus in main pulmonary artery was presented in CT with
contrast enhancement. (B) Follow up CT revealed that, pulmonary thrombus
in main pulmonary artery was totally disappeared.
