Clinical Presentation and Results of Thrombolytic Therapy in Older Patients with Massive Pulmonary Embolism: A Comparison with Non‐Elderly Patients

Clinical symptoms, including hemodynamic condition, did not differ between elderly and nonelderly patients suffering from massive pulmonary embolism. Old age should not preclude thrombolytic therapy in massive pulmonary embolism, provided there is no other contraindication for thrombolytic treatment.
