Association of right ventricular dysfunction with in-hospital mortality in patients with acute pulmonary embolism and reduction in mortality in patients with right ventricular dysfunction by pulmonary embolectomy

Twenty-one of 64 patients (33%) with pulmonary embolisms with right ventricular (RV) dilation and 6 of 126 patients (5%) with pulmonary embolisms without RV dilation died during hospitalization (p
