During the past few years, there has been a surge in the use of catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) for acute pulmonary embolism (PE), in the form of either standard CDT or ultrasound-assisted CDT (usCDT). This is a systematic review and meta-analysis of all published series on contemporary CDT for acute PE seeking to determine their clinical efficacy, stratifying by PE severity and CDT modality.
A comprehensive MEDLINE and Embase search was performed to identify studies that reported outcomes of CDT for acute PE published from 2009 to July 2017. Outcomes included clinical success (in-hospital survival with stabilization of hemodynamics, without decompensation or any major complication), in-hospital mortality, major bleeding, right ventricular/left ventricular ratio, and Miller score changes after CDT. Meta-analyses assumed random effects.
Twenty studies with 1168 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Available for subgroup analysis were 210 patients with high-risk PE and 945 patients with intermediate-risk PE; 181 patients received CDT using a standard multiside hole catheter, and 850 received usCDT. The pooled average right ventricular/left ventricular improvement and Miller score drop after CDT were 0.30 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.22-0.39) and 8.8 (95% CI, 7.1-10.5). For high-risk PE, the pooled estimate for clinical success was 81.3% (95% CI, 72.5%-89.1%), the 30-day mortality estimate was 8.0% (95% CI, 3.2%-14.0%), and major bleeding was 6.7% (95% CI, 1.0%-15.3%). For intermediate-risk PE, the pooled estimate for clinical success was 97.5% (95% CI, 95.3%-99.1%), the 30-day mortality was 0% (95% CI, 0%-0.5%), and major bleeding was 1.4% (95% CI, 0.3%-2.8%). In high-risk PE, clinical success for CDT and usCDT was 70.8% (95% CI, 53.4%-85.8%) and 83.1% (95% CI, 68.5%-94.5%), respectively. In intermediate-risk PE, clinical success for CDT and usCDT was 95.0% (95% CI, 88.5%-99.2%) and 97.5% (95% CI, 95.0%-99.4%), respectively.
Catheter thrombolysis has high clinical success rates in both high- and intermediate-risk PE, but higher mortality and bleeding rates should be anticipated in high-risk PE. Ultrasound-assisted thrombolysis may be more effective than standard CDT in the higher risk population.
在过去的几年中,急性肺栓塞(PE)的导管溶栓(CDT)使用率呈上升趋势,包括标准 CDT 或超声辅助 CDT(usCDT)。本系统评价和荟萃分析旨在评估所有关于急性 PE 的当代 CDT 系列的临床疗效,并根据 PE 严重程度和 CDT 方式进行分层。
全面检索 MEDLINE 和 Embase 数据库,以确定自 2009 年至 2017 年 7 月发表的关于急性 PE 行 CDT 治疗的研究。结局指标包括临床成功(院内生存率稳定,无失代偿或任何重大并发症)、院内死亡率、大出血、右心室/左心室比值以及 CDT 后 Miller 评分的变化。荟萃分析采用随机效应模型。
纳入 20 项研究共 1168 例患者,其中 210 例高危 PE 患者和 945 例中危 PE 患者可进行亚组分析。181 例患者接受标准多侧孔导管 CDT,850 例患者接受 usCDT。CDT 后右心室/左心室比值和 Miller 评分的平均改善值分别为 0.30(95%置信区间,0.22-0.39)和 8.8(95%置信区间,7.1-10.5)。高危 PE 患者中,临床成功的合并估计值为 81.3%(95%置信区间,72.5%-89.1%),30 天死亡率估计值为 8.0%(95%置信区间,3.2%-14.0%),大出血发生率为 6.7%(95%置信区间,1.0%-15.3%)。中危 PE 患者中,临床成功的合并估计值为 97.5%(95%置信区间,95.3%-99.1%),30 天死亡率为 0%(95%置信区间,0%-0.5%),大出血发生率为 1.4%(95%置信区间,0.3%-2.8%)。高危 PE 患者中,CDT 和 usCDT 的临床成功率分别为 70.8%(95%置信区间,53.4%-85.8%)和 83.1%(95%置信区间,68.5%-94.5%)。中危 PE 患者中,CDT 和 usCDT 的临床成功率分别为 95.0%(95%置信区间,88.5%-99.2%)和 97.5%(95%置信区间,95.0%-99.4%)。
CDT 在高危和中危 PE 中的临床成功率均较高,但高危 PE 的死亡率和出血率较高。超声辅助溶栓可能比标准 CDT 在高危人群中更有效。
