A single-center, open-label, randomized comparative study of two treatment strategies in patients with intermediate-high-risk acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to standard anticoagulant therapy or standard catheter-directed thrombolysis (SСDT) with a low dose of alteplase, followed by evaluation of short- and long-term efficacy and safety in each group
