Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third most common cardiovascular cause of death; systemic thrombolysis is potentially lifesaving treatment in patients presenting with haemodynamic instability instability. We investigated trends in the use of systemic thrombolysis and the outcome of patients with with acute PE.We analysed data on the characteristics, comorbidities, treatment, and in-hospital outcome outcome of 885 806 PE patients in Germany between 2005 and 2015.
