are under 200 mg/dL, the dose should be reduced or the infusion stopped. In a meta-analysis of CDT series, the frequency of success was higher if at least 80% of patients received locally delivered thrombolytic therapy during the procedure (91.2% vs. 82.8%, P = 0.01) or for an extended period of time (89.2% vs. 84.2%, P = 0.045). However, the included studies were quite heterogeneous, making a deni­tive benet of catheter-directed thrombolytic treatment over other CDTs dicult to prove.

To improve delivery of tPA to the pulmonary vascula­ture and decrease tPA infusions times (and subsequently tPA doses), ultrasound-assisted thrombolysis (USAT) for
the treatment of massive and submassive PE may be used. Currently, the EkoSonic Endovascular System (EKOS Corp., Bothwell, WA) is the only USAT device that is approved for use in the United States. e use of ultrasound energy results in reversible disaggregation of non-cross-linked brin bers and opens up sites for tPA binding in order to facilitate drug eect. Additionally, ultrasound pressure waves may increase

is can be done unilaterally or bilaterally, the latter of which is more common. e USAT catheter is 6-Fr compatible; however, if bilateral treatment is planned, a 10-Fr femoral venous sheath is necessary. e pulmonary vasculature is selected

using standard techniques. Once wire access to the lobar branches is obtained, the infusion catheter is advanced over the wire and the ultrasound core is inserted that delivers high-frequency (2.2 GHz), low energy (0.5 W per trans­ducer) ultrasound waves.

e ULTIMA trial is the only randomized trial of
treatment with USAT to date.21 is trial randomized 59 patients with intermediate-risk PE (RV/LV ratio 1.0) to heparin therapy or heparin plus USAT with the EkoSonic Endovascular System to deliver either unilateral or bilat­eral tPA at 1 mg/hour for 15 hours. e primary endpoint was the RV/LV ratio change from baseline to 24 hours aer treatment. In the USAT group, placement of the catheter was successful in 100% of patients (87% received bilateral catheter placement). ere was a signicant dierence in the RV/LV ratio for the USAT group (1.28 ± 0.19 to 0.99 ± 0.17 [P < 0.001] vs. heparin 1.2 ± 0.14 to 1.17 ± 0.2 [P = 0. 31]). e mean RV/LV ratio dierence was 0.3 ± 0.2 for USAT compared to 0.03 ± 0.16 for the heparin group (P < 0. 0 01). However, these dierences were not signicant at 90 days. Most RV hemodynamics were signicantly improved at 24 hours with USAT compared to heparin treatment. Mean hospital stay was not dierent. At 90 days, mortality was

Overal l, these studies demonstrate the feasibilit y of USAT for the treatment of intermediate-risk PE. However, there are no randomized trials of USAT compared to standard catheter-directed thrombolytic infusion. Additionally, the endpoints for these studies are usually markers of cardiac and pulmonary hemodynamics. ey represent surrogate endpoints without clear correlation to long-term outcomes. ere has been no long-term mortality or morbidity benet demonstrated with many of these techniques to date, which would support changing current guidelines for treatment in submassive PE. Further eorts are necessary to delineate the patients who will receive the most benet from these techniques.
21.7 SURGICAL PULMONARY
Surgical pulmonary embolectomy (SPE) remains a viable and eective means of treating massive acute PE, as well as submassive acute PE with adverse prognosis, when thrombolysis is contraindicated. ese are oen best per­formed in centers with experience in these procedures, as candidates for this procedure are inherently unstable. Historically, SPE was reserved for massive PE with hemo­dynamic instability and when standard treatment had failed, or thrombolytics were contraindicated, as a last-line eort. It is not unexpected that those selected for treatment

not dierent and no major bleeding occurred. Four minor bleeding events occurred with USAT and one occurred in the heparin-only group.
21
In several larger retrospective series (Table 21.2), USAT had simi lar eects on RV/LV ratio improvement. Engelberger etal. reported on 52 patients with intermediate- and high­risk PE. e RV/LV ratio decreased from 1.42 ± 0.21 to
1.06 ± 0.23 aer 24 hours (P < 0.001). e greatest benet appeared to be in high-risk patients. Complications included a 3.8% mortality rate, major bleeding in 3.8% of patients, and
22
minor bleeding in 21% of patients.
Additionally, Kennedy etal. reported on 60 patients treated with USAT. All patients had successful catheter placement. Complete thrombolysis occurred in 57% of cases and PA pressures decreased signif­icantly. eir series reported a 5% mortality rate.23 McCabe etal. reported on 53 patients with similar improvements in RV/LV ratio, PA pressures, and a 9.4% bleeding rate.24 Other series that have been reviewed have shown that USAT can be performed with bleeding rates of 2%–20% and low mor­ta l ity.20 Finally, in the only report to compare USAT to stan­dard catheter-directed thrombolytic treatment, Lin et al. reported more complete thrombolysis, shorter infusion times (17.4 ± 5.2 vs. 25.3 ± 7.3 (h), P = 0.03), lower tPA doses (17. 2 ± 2.4 vs. 25.4 ± 5.3 (mg), P = 0.03), and lower bleeding complications (0% vs. 21%, P = 0.02) with USAT compared to standard catheter-directed thrombolysis.
25
have been reported to have a poor prognosis. However, out­comes of SPE have greatly improved, and may oer benets over medical therapy or attempts at repeated thrombolytic treatment.26 In a literature review by Stein etal. of SPE from 1985 to 2005, average mortality declined from 32% to 20% over this period, although there were slightly fewer patients with pre-operative cardiac arrest in the latter group (33% vs. 27%). Not surprisingly, those undergoing surgery with pre-operative cardiac arrest had a 59% mortality rate com­pared to 20% for those who did not have a pre-operative arrest.
More recently, Leacche et al. reported on 47 patients undergoing emergent SPE at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, which has taken an aggressive approach to SPE. (95%) had RV dysfunction by echo, and indications included a contraindication to anticoagulation (47%), failed medical treatment (10%), and RV hemodynamic dysfunction (32%). eir technique includes mandatory transesophageal echo­cardiogram (TEE) to assess RV function and the presence of patent foramen ovale (PFO) and atrial septal defects (ASDs; these would change operative cannulation and myocardial protective strategies). Aer median sternotomy, patients are placed in cardiopulmonary bypass with normothermia and without cardioplegic arrest (unless PFO or ASD is present). A longitudinal or transverse PA arteriotomy is made and clots are removed under direct visualization with forceps and suction. Fogarty catheters are avoided to prevent distal vessel injury. An inferior vena cava lter is placed at the end of the case. irty-day mortality occurred in three patients (6%), of which two had a pre-operative cardiac arrest, and

two of the three that died needed a RV assist device. Other complications included two patients requiring reoperation and two deep sternal wound infections. Median follow-up was 27 months, and the 1- and 3-year survival rates were 86% (95% CI: 70%–90%) and 83% (95% CI: 66%–92%), respectively. Most late deaths were due to cancer.28 Based on these encouraging results, the authors have extended SPE for submassive PE patients with massive proximal clot burden and RV dysfunction. is aggressive approach has been rep­licated by others, with comparable outcomes.

No. Guideline
3.5.1 We recommend therapeutic anticoagulation with subcutaneous LMWH, subcutaneous fondaparinux, or IV UFH for initial anticoagulation of acute PE.
3.5.2 Anticoagulation alone is recommended for low-risk PE or submassive PE with mild RV dysfunction.
3.5.3 Thrombolysis is recommended for massive PE if bleeding risk is acceptable.
3.5.4 Thrombolysis is suggested for submassive acute PE that is felt to have poor prognosis if bleeding risk is acceptable.
3.5.5 Catheter thrombectomy, thrombus fragmentation, or surgical embolectomy is recommended for patients with massive PE and contraindications for thrombolysis depending on local expertise.
3.5.6 Catheter thrombectomy, thrombus fragmentation, or surgical embolectomy is recommended for patients with massive PE and who remain unstable after thrombolysis if local expertise is available.
3.5.7 Catheter thrombectomy or surgical embolectomy is suggested for patients with submassive PE judged to have poor prognosis.
3.5.8 We recommend against catheter thrombectomy or surgical embolectomy for low-risk PE or submassive PE with minor RV dysfunction.

should be referred before the onset of cardiogenic shock and have large central thrombus burdens (within the main trunk or right or le main PA). Surgery can be performed with normothermia and with or without bypass, aortic cross clamping, and cardioplegic arrest. Only visualized throm­bus is removed and inferior vena cava lters are placed at case completion due to the risk of recurrent PE.

As out­comes with this re-emerging technique have improved, this remains a viable treatment options for those with mas­sive and submassive PE, making a coordinated multidisci­plinary approach to PE critical to tailoring treatment based on patient factors and institutional expertise.

22.1 INTRODUCTION
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a source of major mor­bidity and mortality. e incidence of VTE exceeds 1/1000, and there are an estimated 200,000 rst lifetime cases diag­nosed in the United States every year. e 7-day mortality of patients suering from VTE is 25%, with up to a third of patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) dying suddenly. VTE is the fourth leading cause of death in Western society and the third leading cause of cardiovascular death behind myocardial infarction and stroke. Of those individuals sur­viving their event, approximately 30% will develop recur­rent VTE within 10 years, and greater than 20%–30% will develop the post-phlebitic syndrome over this time period (even higher with iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis [DVT]). VTE is more frequent in the elderly, and the incidence of thrombosis increases signicantly beyond 60 years of age. As our population ages, the VTE incidence will increase.
Clearly, VTE is a problem that is encountered by a wide variety of patients and providers. is chapter is intended to guide those involved in patient care by providing direct access to easy-to-use algorithms for commonly encoun­tered clinical scenarios. Standardized treatment manage­ment plans are dened through the algorithms. ese may decrease practice variation and be useful with inexperi­enced sta, and may provide some control over risk man­agement. As a word of caution, algorithms sometimes fail to account for diagnostic uncertainty, unique clinical circum­stances, and patient preference/anxiety, and may perform dierently amongst dierent populations or when used by

dierent care providers. Clinician and patient acceptance are required in order to use algorithms, and every eort has been made to ensure that the algorithms listed utilize tests that are widely available and have been validated for the dis­ease process being evaluated. e following algorithms and supporting text are obtained from Chapters 18, 19, 20, 21,
23, 24, 25, 26, 27, and 28; key references are as listed at the
conclusion of each chapter.
22.2 PROPHYLAXIS
VTE can be prevented, particularly in the hospitalized patient (see Chapter 23). Appropriately delivered prophy- laxis is cost-eective, reduces VTE by 50%–70%, and car­ries an acceptably low risk of hemorrhage. Without DVT prophylaxis, VTE rates are high for both surgical and non­surgical hospitalized patients. Although the incidence of VTE varies by both patient and procedure, VTE may occur in up to 20% of surgical patients. As more than 28 million surgical procedures are performed each year in the United States, and more than 35 million non-surgical patients are admitted each year to U.S. hospitals, this is a major health problem. With the evolution toward expanded outpatient delivery of medical and surgical services, only the sickest patients are hospitalized. e thrombotic event rate may be as high as 16% in these non-surgical patients without prophylaxis. PE accounts for nearly 10% of all hospital deaths and is one of the most preventable causes of mor­tality. PE may occur without prior warning, and sudden death may be the initial symptom of disease.

recent guidelines, low-dose unfractionated heparin, low­molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), or fondaparinux, are safe and eective prophylaxis strategies for hospital­ized patients with other medical conditions. For bleeding patients or those who are at low risk of VTE development, mechanical compression (intermittent pneumatic compres­sion) is indicated (Figure22.1). For patients at moderate and high risk of VTE, Figure 22.1 provides recommendations for thromboprophylaxis regimens.
22.3 DIAGNOSIS
e diagnostic workup of a suspected VTE depends on the degree of clinical suspicion of DVT or PE (see Chapter 18). Several validated scoring systems exist to aid the clinician in determining the pre-test probability of such a diagno­sis, most notably the Well’s score for DVT (Table 22.1) and

PE (Table 22.2) and the Antwerp score for PE (Table 22.3). Ascore resulting in a low or moderate probability of DVT or PE should guide the clinician to D-dimer as the initial “rule-out” test (Figures 22.2 and 22.3). A high probability should trigger a more aggressive workup with duplex ultra­sound (Figure 22.2) if DVT is suspected, or PE protocol computed tomography (CT) (Figure 22.3) if PE is suspected. Importantly, modern-day diagnosis should include only noninvasive testing with a low risk prole. ere is little to no role for invasive tests, such as lower extremity venogra­phy or pulmonary angiography, except under unusual cir­cumstances or when invasive interventions are planned.

LMWH is preferred, although unfractionated heparin remains an excellent option in patients with renal insu­ciency or if there is concern regarding bleeding risk, given its shorter half-life and more reliable reversal with prot­amine. Figure 22.4 outlines decision making regarding a variety of commonly encountered comorbid conditions presenting with DVT, such as pregnancy and cancer.
22.5 TREATMENT OF ILIOFEMORAL DVT
Management following a diagnosis of iliofemoral DVT (Figure 22.5) is anticoagulation therapy along with leg elevation and compression; ambulation is encouraged (see
Chapter 19).
