Thromboembolism of pulmonary artery is life-threatening condition due to acute right ventricle failure and cardiogenic shock. System thrombolysis is the main way of reperfusion in massive pulmonary embolism with a very high risk of fatal hemorrhage complications. There is a popular revascularization method in two last decades such as endovascular treatment. It allows to recover the blood flow into occluded pulmonary arteries up to three weeks after confirmed embolism episode and to decrease major bleeding risks. Now trials corroborate the high efficacy and safety of interventional treatment the usage of which would allow to improve prognosis in massive pulmonary embolism.
