In patients with high-risk pulmonary embolism, 90-day survival was similar after treatment with CDI plus anticoagulation compared to anticoagulation only. The mean reduction in RV/LV ratio was larger in the CDI group. Our results support the use of CDI in selected patients, respecting the limitations and potential side effects of each technical device used.
