Thrombolytic therapy is the accepted treatment. Reteplase, a variant of tissue plasminogen activator, has been used in acute myocardial infarction with acceptable safety and efficacy, but studies in massive PTE are rare. In this study we report five cases of successful treatment of massive PTE with reteplase.}, keywords = {Pulmonary thromboembolism,Reteplase,Bleeding}, url = {https://www.tanaffosjournal.ir/article_243020.html}, eprint = {https://www.tanaffosjournal.ir/article_243020_fbde983a9d02a2d3a5c146118072657d.pdf} }
