NCT02132689

Brief Summary

Currently there is no clear guidance for the treatment of moderate risk of pulmonary embolism. The aim of the study is to compare two different therapeutic modalities - standard anticoagulation versus thrombolytic treatment followed by anticoagulation in standard regimen as stated in the pulmonary embolism guidelines.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Clinical manifestations of right ventricular failure and pulmonary hypertension and cardiovascular-related death

    The primary outcome of the study is to follow clinical manifestations of right ventricular failure (assessed according to the New York Heart Association /NYHA/ classification).

    12 months

  • Pulmonary hypertension

    The primary outcome of the study is to follow pulmonary hypertension (measured in mmHg).

    12 months

  • Cardiovascular-related deaths

    The primary outcome of the study is to follow the number of cardiovascular-related deaths within the time frame of 12 months.

    12 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Echocardiographic manifestations of right ventricular failure and pulmonary hypertension.

    12 months
