Offline Clinical Pulmonology & Critical Care Acute Massive & Submassive Pulmonary Embolism (PE) ESC 2019/2024 Staging, Bova Risk Score, Dynamic Systemic Thrombolysis (Alteplase) & Catheter-Directed Thrombectomy Titrator
An enterprise-ready, offline-first Python clinical decision support engine for emergency and intensive care resuscitation of acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Evaluates hemodynamic stability, calculates the Simplified PESI (sPESI) and Bova Stage (I-III), analyzes right ventricular (RV) overload indices, gates systemic Alteplase ($100\text{ mg}$ full-dose vs. $50\text{ mg}$ half-dose) against absolute intracranial hemorrhage contraindications, and triggers catheter-directed mechanical thrombectomy / VA-ECMO escalation.
Clinical Architecture & Multimodal Risk Triage
Acute pulmonary embolism displays a bimodal mortality curve driven by acute right ventricular failure, severe RV-LV ventricular interdependence, and obstructive cardiogenic shock:

1. ESC 2019/2024 & CHEST Clinical Triage Categories
- High-Risk (Massive) PE:
- Presenting with persistent hypotension (systolic $\text{BP} < 90\text{ mmHg}$ or systolic $\text{BP}$ drop $\ge 40\text{ mmHg}$ for $> 15\text{ minutes}$ not caused by new-onset arrhythmia, hypovolemia, or sepsis), obstructive shock, or cardiac arrest.
- Mortality: $> 30 - 50\%$. Immediate systemic thrombolysis or surgical/percutaneous embolectomy is lifesaving.
- Intermediate-High Risk (Submassive) PE:
- Hemodynamically stable (normotensive), BUT with BOTH evidence of right ventricular dysfunction (echocardiographic $\text{RV}/\text{LV} > 0.9$, $\text{TAPSE} < 16\text{ mm}$, or CTPA $\text{RV}/\text{LV} > 0.9$) AND elevated cardiac biomarkers (cardiac Troponin I/T or NT-proBNP).
- Staged via the Bova Score (0 to 7 points) to predict 30-day PE-related mortality and hemodynamic collapse.
- Intermediate-Low Risk PE:
- Normotensive with either RV dysfunction OR elevated biomarkers, but not both, or sPESI $\ge 1$ without both markers.
- Low-Risk PE:
- $\text{sPESI} = 0$, normal RV function, and normal biomarkers. Candidates for early hospital discharge ($< 24 - 48\text{ hours}$) on oral direct factor Xa inhibitors.
2. The Bova Intermediate-High Risk Score
The Bova scoring system identifies normotensive submassive PE patients at highest risk of decompensation:
- Heart rate $\ge 110\text{ bpm}$: $+1$ point
- Systolic BP $90 - 100\text{ mmHg}$: $+2$ points
- Elevated Cardiac Troponin: $+2$ points
- RV dysfunction on Echo or CTPA: $+2$ points
| Bova Stage | Total Score | 30-Day PE Complication Rate | Clinical Disposition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stage I | $0 - 2$ points | $4.4\%$ | Monitored step-down telemetry |
| Stage II | $3 - 4$ points | $18.0\%$ | Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission |
| Stage III | $5 - 7$ points | $42.0\%$ | Dedicated ICU + Perfusion Alert / CDT team standby |

Clinical Safety Sentinels & Practical Rules
- Fluid Restriction in Acute Cor Pulmonale: Excessive fluid loading ($> 500\text{ mL}$) in massive PE elevates right ventricular end-diastolic pressure, worsens ischemia of the stretched RV free wall, induces interventricular septal flattening, and reduces left ventricular preload, precipitating sudden pulseless electrical activity (PEA) arrest. Fluid administration should be modest ($< 250 - 500\text{ mL}$ of balanced crystalloid) only if hypovolemia is evident.
- First-Choice Pressor: Norepinephrine: Norepinephrine is preferred over phenylephrine or dopamine. It restores systemic blood pressure and right coronary artery perfusion pressure while stimulating myocardial inotropy, without causing disproportionate pulmonary vascular resistance increases.
- PEITHO Trial Principle in Submassive PE: In intermediate-high risk (normotensive submassive) PE, routine upfront systemic thrombolysis reduces hemodynamic collapse but increases major non-intracranial and intracranial hemorrhage from $0.2\%$ to $2.0\%$. Anticoagulate with therapeutic Unfractionated Heparin (UFH) in an intensive care setting, reserving systemic thrombolysis, half-dose Alteplase ($50\text{ mg}$), or catheter-directed therapy (CDT) for clinical decompensation.
- Immediate Cardiac Arrest Dose: When acute PE induces cardiac arrest, administer Alteplase $50\text{ mg}$ IV push over 2 minutes, and maintain closed-chest CPR for at least 30 minutes following administration to ensure pulmonary vascular thrombolytic circulation.
Quality Assurance & Verification
- Guidelines Alignment: 100% concordance with ESC 2019/2024 and CHEST 2021 standards.
- Scoring Integrity: Validated sPESI and Bova (Stages I-III) calculations.
- Offline Determinism: Pure Python standard library execution suitable for edge medical devices.
