European Database on Catheter-directed Treatment of Pulmonary Embolism.

European Database on Catheter-directed Treatment of Pulmonary Embolism.

The main goals of EuroPE-CDT is to assess the currently applied catheter-directed treatment (CTD) techniques and strategies in pulmonary embolism (PE) patients and to determine the short term efficacy and safety of this invasive procedure.

This is a prospective (and retrospective, if required data are available), non-interventional, multicenter study. We intend to obtain data on basic patients characteristics, pulmonary embolism severity, catheter-directed treatment procedures and short term outcome. We are planning to include approximately 150-200 patients suitable for analysis by the end of 2020. Anonymized data of consecutive PE patients treated with CTD in European centers will be collected in the database.

Inclusion Criteria:

• acute pulmonary embolism
• catheter-directed embolectomy

Exclusion Criteria:
