A member asked:
How successful is the catheter-directed high frequency ultrasound procedure in breaking up pulmonary emboli? and what is done exactly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be very: successful. But I wonder why you need it. It is usually for emergencies and then you would not be able to ask this question here. Would certainly get an independent opinion from a pulmonologist. No procedure is without side effects. Good luck
