Mechanical Thrombectomy Versus Anticoagulation in Intermediate-Risk Pulmonary Embolism: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

In patients with intermediate-risk PE, mechanical thrombectomy was associated with a lower incidence of all-cause 30-day mortality compared to anticoagulation. However, as the majority of the included studies were observational, these findings should be interpreted with caution and warrant confirmation with further high-quality randomised controlled trials.
