title: [Efficacy of treatment with rt-PA of massive pulmonary embolism in patients with contraindications for thrombolytic therapy].
abstract: Pulmonary embolism is a life-threatening condition that is accompanied by significant morbidity and mortality. In massive pulmonary embolism, where restoration of pulmonary arterial flow is urgently required, the only options available are surgical thromboembolectomy and/or thrombolytic therapy. Unfortunately, a large part of thromboembolic diseases is also considered as an absolute or relative contraindication to thrombolysis. The purpose of this paper was to emphasize the possibility of new thrombolytic agents of disregarding, according to circumstances, the contraindications to thrombolytic treatment.
