Advancements in Pulmonary Embolism Treatment

Course overview

This online course provides an evidence-based, clinically focused update on the management of acute pulmonary embolism (PE), led by Dr. Pouya Aghajafari. The program reviews foundational anticoagulation therapy and progresses to advanced interventional options, including catheter-directed approaches, ultrasound-facilitated thrombolysis (EKOS), mechanical thrombectomy, and catheter-assisted venous therapy (CAVT). Learners will explore data from landmark trials such as PEERLESS and STORM-PE to understand their implications for patient selection and treatment strategies. The course concludes with a synthesis of current guideline recommendations and emerging trends that are shaping contemporary and future standards of PE care.
