The impact of pulmonary embolism response teams on acute PE management and outcomes

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third most common cause of cardiovascular death. Hospitals worldwide initiated the movement to assemble multidisciplinary teams or Pulmonary Embolism Response Teams (PERTs) to help manage PE, improve care coordination, and determine suitable treatment interventions for acute PE patients. First established in 2012 at Massachusetts General Hospital, over 100 institutions now have active PERTs.

How AI Is Helping Expand Endovascular Thrombectomy Treatment in South America

Portugués | Español The last decade has brought significant advances in imaging technologies and endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) devices used to treat acute ischemic stroke. While many of these advanced technologies are used in stroke centers in resource-rich countries, recent studies in South America are helping to justify adoption in countries that may not have the same care infrastructure.

How Having a VTE Coordinator Can Improve Workflow for PE Teams

Most hospitals in the United States have a care pathway for stroke patients, but this is not the case for patients presenting with venous thromboembolism (VTE) disease including acute pulmonary embolism (PE) patients. The treatment pathway for PE patients presents challenges – where there is often no standard treatment criteria or protocol. Multiple disciplines are involved in the care workflow and treatment plan can vary based on who is involved.
