Interventions

Control group:Anticoagulant therapy, heparinoids given immediately after diagnosis is confirmed, unfractionated heparin pumped continuously, and APTT monitored to maintain for 50 to 70 seconds
or low molecular weight heparin according to the anticoagulation regimen of 0.1ml/10kg, sc, every 12 hours, 48 hours at the discretion of the clinician.

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Meet the diagnostic criteria for intermediate- and high-risk PTE. CTPA showed a right ventricular end-diastolic diameter/left ventricular end-diastolic diameter of > 0.9. Elevated cardiac biomarkers, including BNP, NT-pro BNP, troponin. 2. CTPA showed that the thrombus was located in the lobar artery and above. 3. Age: 18 years old or older. 4. Voluntarily participate in this study and sign the informed consent form.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.

Those who are allergic to contrast medium and cannot undergo iodine contrast agent examination and interventional treatment. 3. Patients with chronic kidney disease or renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance rate < 30 ml/min) who cannot tolerate contrast examination. 4. Patients with left heart cardiovascular disease, such as left bundle branch block, etc., who cannot tolerate interventional therapy. 5. Those with high risk of interventional operation after pacemaker placement within 1 month. 6. Uncontrolled hyperthyroidism is not suitable for contrast examination. 7. Pregnant women. 8. Those with other serious diseases and the expected survival time is less than 3 months. 9. Those who do not agree to enter the clinical research room.
