Devices in pulmonary embolism - Why you should be interested!

Anchorperson: A. Sharp

Spokesperson: F. Mahfoud

Summary

This session provides a comprehensive overview of device-based pulmonary embolism treatment. Experts will discuss the clinical problem of pulmonary embolism, the importance of forming a dedicated team, and the available devices and their characteristics. The session will also feature case-based discussions on the use of catheter-directed lysis, computer-assisted vacuum thrombectomy, and large-bore aspiration thrombectomy in patients with intermediate-high risk, high-risk, and shock presentations. Attendees will gain insights into patient selection, safe delivery of treatment, and the prediction and avoidance of complications.
