Safety and efficacy of thrombolytic therapy in the treatment of early pulmonary embolism after thoracic surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence and mortality rates of early pulmonary embolism (PE) after thoracic surgery are high. Thrombolytic therapy is the basic treatment of PE. The aim of this study is to explore the safety and efficacy of thrombolytic therapy for patients with early postoperative PE.

Methods

Data of forty patients excluding three patients with sudden death were analyzed. The included patients were divided into: thrombolysis + anticoagulation (group A, 21 cases) and anticoagulation (group B, 16 cases). Twenty patients had esophageal cancer and 17 had lung tumors. Bleeding, drainage volume, pulmonary infection, and perioperative mortality were compared between the groups. Factors related to perioperative mortality were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression.
