[Clinical implications of thrombolytic therapy for patients with acute intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism in Tibet plateau, China].

At present, clinical studies and case reports of systemic thrombolytic therapy for patients with acute pulmonary embolism in Tibet Plateau are very rare. There is little understanding of the risk factors, clinical characteristics, and thrombolytic therapy for patients with acute pulmonary embolism at intermediate-high risk in Tibet Plateau. In this paper, we reported the data of 4 patients with acute intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism treated with thrombolytic therapy in Lhasa People's Hospital. The demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations, treatment, and outcomes were analyzed. We summarized the clinical features and raised scientific issues. We aimed to provide basic data to improve the standardized diagnosis and treatment of acute pulmonary embolism in plateau, and to point out the direction of future clinical research in this field.
