Core Tip	Patients with massive pulmonary embolism presenting subacutely (> 2 wk) have high mortality and older clots in these patients may be less amenable to thrombolysis with increased likelihood of recurrence and thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Eight of 70 patients with massive pulmonary embolism presenting subacutely were subjected to mechanical breakdown and intra lesional thrombolysis with urokinase (4400 IU/kg over 10 min followed by 4400 IU/kg per hour over 24 h). Post procedurally, patients documented significant improvement in hemodynamic parameters with 100% survival at 30 d and 6 mo followup. This modality appears to be a promising alternative to high risk surgical procedures in such patients.
