Summary

This session provides an in-depth overview of the use of large-bore thrombectomy in the management of pulmonary embolism. It highlights key clinical considerations for intervention, including the potential to reduce fatal events, prevent long-term complications, and optimize cost-effectiveness in eligible patients. A real-life case involving a 65-year-old patient with intermediate-high-risk pulmonary embolism illustrates patient selection and the immediate clinical impact of large-bore thrombectomy. In addition, a detailed, step-by-step procedural guide is presented to support clinicians in incorporating this technique into routine pulmonary embolism management.
