Hi, thx for the lecture. What do you think about 4peps score for rule out ep ?

[@hossammustafa3146]

nice lecture. What are your thoughts on catheter directed therapy compared to systemic tPA. I t uses lower doses over longer period of time.

I am expressing an opinion here as I think more data is needed to answer this question, but I think, from my personal experience, that the "bigger" difference in results is likely in the longer duration of treatment, and not necessarily the total dose or mechanism of delivery. Again, only an opinion from personal experience .
