Join our guest, Dr. Jun Li from University Hospitals of Cleveland, for a discussion of the newly released Joint Society Guideline for the Evaluation and Management of Acute Pulmonary Embolism in Adults. Dr. Li was a co-author of these guidelines, released this past February. She reviews the clinical, laboratory, and imaging aspects of PE diagnosis, as well as the new severity classification. She then addresses management, including updated recommendations for anticoagulation, risk assessment, and the roles of both catheter-based and surgical intervention. Finally, she reviews the evolving role of the "Pulmonary Embolism Response Team" in the acute care of these patients.
