These techniques can rapidly improve right ventricular function, hemodynamic status, and mortality in some patients, although there is a lack of evidence from randomized controlled trials.

Based on existing clinical evidence on CDI, the document discusses various clinical scenarios and provides guidance on patient selection, particularly in situations of uncertainty due to insufficient evidence.
