Primary Outcome Measures:
  • RV to LV Diameter Ratio [ Time Frame: Baseline and 48 ± 6 hours after Baseline ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Determine whether treatment with ultrasound-accelerated catheter-directed fibrinolysis will significantly decrease the ratio of RV to LV diameter within 48 ± 6 hours in patients with massive or submassive PE.

  • Major Bleeding [ Time Frame: Within 72 hours of treatment initiation ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Determine the frequency of major bleeding within 72 hours of initiation of the ultrasound-accelerated catheter-directed fibrinolysis procedure in patients with massive or submassive PE.
