“Venous thrombosis is always a severe disease and is often fatal, because fragments of the thrombi may detach and occlude branches of the pulmonary artery... the occlusion of the main branches of the pulmonary artery causes a striking rise of the blood pressure in these vessels. This rise, which the right heart might fight in order to ensure circulation, may sometimes lead to cardiac arrest.”
Picot 1884 Lecons de Clinique Médicale

.1How severe is this patient’s PE?
.2What is the risk of mortality? Risk-stratifying
.3Is the pathobiology different from massive PE?

Observations: • Clinical observation• Lack of response to anti-obstructive lytic
treatment
Science: • Inflammatory neurohormonal mediators’
release bilateral pulmonary vasoconstriction, bilateral V/Q mismatch PVR RV dysfunction

Methods:
• Inhaled Iloprost used in 11 patients with Submassive PE, who refused to receive thrombolytic therapy
• NYHA III to IV for duration between 1-14 day• Helical CT angiogram was confirmatory• Echocardiography was used to evaluate the RV
•All patients were stable hemodynamically
• Beside anticoagulation, all patients received inhaled Iloprost, 2.5-5 µg every 4 hours for 3 weeks.

Novel approach for the management of sub-massive pulmonary embolism
Idrees et al, ATM, Submitted
Conclusion:
• In sub-massive pulmonary embolism, directing therapy towards decreasing PVR is effective in improving the hemodynamics derangement associated with this condition.
• This strategy might turn to be the most effective approach for treating this condition and probably safer than thrombolytic therapy.
• However, these conclusion should be confirmed in a large, randomized, placebo-controlled study

Summary
Thrombolytic therapy in M-PE:
• Accelerated clot lysis• Hemodynamic improvement• May improve
Recurrent embolism CTEPHQuality of life Symptoms Mortality
Thrombolytic therapy in SM-PE:• Controversial issue• Administrating early in the course of sub-
massive pulmonary embolism prevents worsening of the disease
In SM-PE• Directing therapy towards PVR rather than clotting lysis might be
the ideal approach in this patients’ population• Need to be tested in randomized clinical studies
