Endovascular treatment of pulmonary embolism is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat blood clots that have traveled to the lungs, often through techniques like clot removal, thrombolysis, or catheter-directed therapy. The procedure involves inserting a catheter into the blood vessels to remove or dissolve the clot and restore normal blood flow to the lungs.

Endovascular treatment is effective in stabilizing the patient, preventing complications like stroke or heart failure, and improving long-term outcomes for those with acute pulmonary embolism.
