	==Conclusion==		==Conclusion==
			*Treatment of patients with submassive pulmonary embolism with tenecteplase was associated with increased probability of a favorable composite outcome.

	==Major Points==		==Major Points==
			*The adjunctive use of fibrinolysis to treat acute submas- sive pulmonary embolism (PE) remains controversial. The American Heart Association has maintained that for massive pulmonary embolism, thrombolysis with tPA is an effective treatment strategy.<ref>Jaff M. et al. Management of massive and submassive pulmonary embolism, iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis, and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: a scientific statement from the American Heart Association. Circulation. 2011 Apr 26;123(16):1788-830</ref>. This trial addressed thrombolysis in patients who are hemodynamically stable but had moderate PE evidenced on CTA. Commonly, the group termed, sub-massive PE includes patients with elevated troponin, BNP, or RV dysfunction on echocardiogram.. The standard of treatment for the [[Pulmonary_Embolism_(PE)#Submassive\|sub-massive PE]] group has been unclear and thrombolysis has not been standard care for treatment, with most of these patients receiving heparin to decrease clot propagation while clot is slowly broken down<ref>Konstantinides S. Association between thrombolytic treatment and the prognosis of hemodynamically stable patients with major pulmonary embolism: results of a multicenter registry. Circulation 1997;96: 882e888</ref>

			*The [[EBQ:MOPETT Trial\|MOPETT Trial]] and the [[EBQ:PEITHO_Trial\|PEITHO Trial]] have suggested there is a possible mortality benefit however the risks of treatment are weighted against the bleeding risks.

			*In patients with submassive PE, the use of tenecteplase resulted in a reduction in adverse outcomes based on a complicated composite outcome. However, the only independent variable that reached statistical significance was related to a self assessment of overall health at 90 days. This was simply the patients' response to being asked 'how would you rate your overall health?' (mean was 2.4 vs. 3.3 out of 10). The study was small, under powered and incomplete due to early termination, which limits any conclusions that can be made.<ref>http://www.wessexics.com/The_Bottom_Line/Review/index.php?id=7211101059506312495</ref>

	==Study Design==		==Study Design==
