Abstract
Patients with massive pulmonary embolism undergoing catheter-directed therapy are at high risk for cardiopulmonary arrest in the periprocedural period due to severe right ventricular dysfunction. We report the outcomes of 3 patients with massive pulmonary embolism treated successfully with catheter-directed thrombolytic therapy and venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
