Core Tip	Pulmonary embolism remains a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality, and optimal management, particularly in intermediate-risk and high-risk patients, continues to evolve. This review critically appraises the expanding role of percutaneous catheter-based therapies, including catheter-directed thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy, as alternatives or adjuncts to systemic thrombolysis and anticoagulation. We synthesize contemporary randomized and registry data, discuss patient selection and procedural strategy and examine the emerging concept of a “primary percutaneous pulmonary intervention” approach as a potential paradigm shift in acute pulmonary embolism care.
