Value of retrograde pulmonary vein perfusion combined with pulmonary artery thrombectomy in acute pulmonary embolism: a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Acute pulmonary embolism is a serious cardiovascular disease with high mortality. Surgery is an important therapeutic means. The traditional surgical method is pulmonary artery embolectomy with cardiopulmonary bypass, but there is a certain recurrence rate after surgery. Some scholars use retrograde pulmonary vein perfusion as an adjunct to conventional pulmonary artery embolectomy. However, whether this method can be used safely for acute pulmonary embolism and its long-term effects remains unclear. Therefore, we plan to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate whether retrograde pulmonary vein perfusion combined with pulmonary artery thrombectomy can be safely used in acute pulmonary embolism.
