Rationale: Submassive pulmonary embolism (PE) is an established risk factor for the development of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), particularly when the initial pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) is \u3e50 mmHg. Ultrasound-accelerated thrombolysis (USAT) rapidly reduces clot burden in submassive PE. We investigated the impact of early clot reduction by USAT on pulmonary hypertension following submassive PE. Methods: Patients with acute submassive PE treated with concurrent intravenous unfractionated herapin and USAT with the EkoSonic MACH4e Endovascular System (EKOS Corporation, Bothwell, WA) were retrospectively studied. PE was diagnosed by CT angiography (CTA). Submassive was defined as right ventricular dysf...
