Abstract
Percutaneous catheter-directed interventions for pulmonary embolism is a rapidly evolving field. We present the first case report of simultaneous intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) use during transcatheter pulmonary embolectomy. Real-time IVUS guidance offers the advantage of better clot visualization and precise suction catheter localization while minimizing contrast medium exposure and wire exchanges. ().
