This session is geared to push your current perception of IR and pulmonary embolism (PE) management. Learn from this case-based and hands on workshop how you can position IR to lead your local PE response team (PERT) and utilize the current evidence-based practices and available tools to improve patient outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

Understand how to evaluate patients with PE in the context of a multidisciplinary PERT
Describe strategies to treat PE in both emergent and non-emergent settings
Know the current evidence and explore current and upcoming trials to solidify your understanding of PE
