Inclusion criteria

  • pulmonary embolism confirmed by CT scan with contrast, with localization of thrombusa in at least one main or proximal lobar pulmonary artery.
  • Right-left ventricular ratio (RV / LV) ≥1 derived from the apical four-chamber view
  • Who gave written informed consent to participate in research

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Age \<18 or >80 years
  • Symptoms of pulmonary embolism> 14 days
  • Inadequate echocardiographic image quality in the apical four-chamber projection, which limits the measurement of RV / LV ratio
  • A significant risk of bleeding
  • The administration of thrombolytic drugs within the previous 4 days
  • Active bleeding
  • Known coagulopathy
  • Thrombocytopenia \<100,10\^9 / l
  • Previous use of vitamin K antagonists with an INR> 2.5 at admission
  • History of any intracranial or spinal surgery or trauma or intracranial / spinal bleeding
  • Intracranial neoplasm
  • Arteriovenous malformations or aneurysms
  • GIH \<3 months
  • Cataract Surgery
  • Obstetrical manipulation
  • Cardiopulmonary resuscitation needed.
  • Other invasive procedures \<10 days
  • Allergy, hypersensitivity, thrombocytopenia to heparin or tissue plasminogen activator
  • Allergy to iodine contrast
  • A well-known right-left cardiac shunt, for example, a large patent foramen ovale, or atrial septal defect; large (> 10 mm), or a blood clot in right atrium/right ventricle
  • Systolic blood pressure \<90 mm Hg for at least 15 minutes, or fall of systolic blood pressure is not less than 40 mm Hg for at least 15 min., with evidence of organ hypoperfusion (cold extremities or low diuresis \<30 mL / h, or confusion), or the need for administration of catecholamines to maintain adequate perfusion of organs and systolic blood pressure> 90 mm Hg
  • Severe hypertension (systolic> 180 mm Hg or diastolic> 105 mm Hg.).
  • Pregnancy, lactation, delivery\<30 days
  • Participation in any other study (drug or device)
  • Life expectancy \<90 days
  • Refusal to participate in the study

    Drug: apixaban

Interventions

  • DrugSildenafil/apixaban

    After arrival to the emergency department, a series of surveys to determine the risk of death from pulmonary embolism are carried out. Then angiography, tensiometry of SBCC, catheter thrombus fragmentation are scheduled. Then puncture of the right jugular vein is performed. PigTail catheter is inserted via guidewire into the pulmonary artery . Angiography of the pulmonary arteries is performed. Miller index is calculated. Catheter thrombus fragmentation is performed by a PigTail catheter. RV, RA pressures are measured. In the ICU heparin is prescribed (of 1000 units per hour) under the control of PTT (50-75s). The next day patients are randomizaed to assign them into 2 groups. Dual drug therapy is going to be administered to this group (experimental): sildenafil 30mg 3p \\ g + 10 mg apixaban 2p \\ d for 14 days. On the 7th day MSCT angiography of the pulmonary aretry with contrast and echocardiogram are performed. On the 14th day the controlechocardiogram is performed .
