Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common and life-threatening condition with inappropriately high mortality rates. Catheter-directed treatment (CDT) for acute PE is a rapidly evolving field of interventional medicine and is already available in some specialized centers. The aim of this review article is to briefly introduce CDT for acute PE to a wider professional community, to provide information on its status in the light of current guidelines, and, last but not least, to outline possible further development in this field.
Keywords: acute pulmonary embolism, catheter‑directed treatment, local thrombolysis, aspiration thrombectomy, percutaneous pulmonary intervention.
