Pulmonary Embolism (PE) remains a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, requiring timely intervention and coordinated multidisciplinary care. This video series provides an in-depth analysis of the current PE treatment landscape, including the latest clinical trial updates (HI-PEITHO, PEERLESS), institutional decision-making workflows and collaborative patient management strategies.
Expert faculty discuss risk stratification, evolving treatment paradigms and the role of multidisciplinary teams, including Pulmonary Embolism Response Teams (PERT), in optimising patient outcomes. Through case-based discussions and real-world examples, viewers will gain practical insights into integrating new evidence into clinical practice.
Learning Objectives
- Understand recent clinical trial data on PE treatments
- Analyse decision-making processes in PE management
- Explore the impact of multidisciplinary teams on patient outcomes
- Implement strategies to enhance patient pathways in clinical settings
Target Audience
- Interventional Cardiologists
- Non-Invasive Cardiologists
- Emergency Medicine Physicians
- Nurses and Primary Care Providers
- Hospital Administrators and PERT Members
