Abstract:

Pulmonary artery thrombectomy is an important method for treatment of acute pulmonary embolism (PE), and its successful implementation relies on the close collaboration of a multidisciplinary team. This article explores the indications, surgical strategies and key links of multidisciplinary treatment(MDT)for pulmonary artery thrombectomy through the diagnosis and treatment process of a patient with acute pulmonary embolism. The patient sought medical attention due to wheezing and was diagnosed with pulmonary embolism through imaging, with a risk stratification of medium to high risk. With the collaboration of multiple disciplines including respiratory medicine department, cardiology department, cardiac surgery department, radiology department and ultrasound department, percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy was successfully performed. After the surgery, the patient's blood flow was restored, symptoms were significantly relieved, and no serious complications occurred. This article aims to provide a reference framework for MDT in pulmonary artery thrombectomy for clinical doctors, optimize the treatment process for patients with pulmonary embolism, and provide reference for case selection and diagnosis and treatment strategies of thrombectomy treatment of pulmonary embolism.

Key words: pulmonary embolism, pulmonary artery thrombectomy, percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy, multi-disciplinary treatment
