Efficacy and Safety of Low-Dose Thrombolysis in Acute Intermediate-High Risk Pulmonary Thromboembolism Complicated by PaO2/FiO2 < 300

PaO2/FiO2 ratio and NT-proBNP were assessed at baseline, 24 hours, 3 days, and 7 days, while mPAP was measured at baseline, 24 hours, and 7 days. Safety endpoints included mortality, hemodynamic ...
