To assess the efficacy and safety of thrombolytic therapy. Electronic search was applied to the Cochrane Airways Group register (MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL standardized searches) with the date up to 2003 April. Hand searched respiratory journals and meeting abstracts. All randomized controlled trials comparing thrombolytic therapy with heparin alone or surgical intervention (eg. embolectomy) met the inclusion criteria. Two reviewers independently selected trials, assessed trial quality and extracted the data.
