Percutaneous mechanical circulatory support for acute right heart failure: A practical approach

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 4, Page 2652-2668, August 2025.
This is an overview of percutaneous mechanical circulatory support options for acute right heart failure, illustrating key clinical scenarios, device types, and principles of tailored device selection based on haemodynamics and underlying pathology. Abstract Acute right heart failure (RHF) represents a critical entity with significant morbidity and ...

Emergency department diagnosis and management of acute pulmonary embolism

British Journal of Haematology, Volume 205, Issue 5, Page 1714-1716, November 2024.
Despite advances in clinical decision support, the diagnosis, prognostic risk stratification, treatment and disposition of emergency department patients with pulmonary embolism remain challenging. Diagnostic risk stratification and D‐dimer can decrease unnecessary exposure to radiation and intravenous contrast; however, D‐dimer is elevated in many ...

Comorbidity profiles and pulmonary embolism risk assessment: Leveraging the Charlson Comorbidity Index for improved prognostication in a national data set

Pulmonary Circulation, Volume 14, Issue 4, October 2024.
Abstract Current risk assessment of pulmonary embolism (PE) stratifies patients based on hemodynamic stability, clinical parameters of severity, right ventricular dysfunction and cardiac injury but fails to integrate a wide variety of comorbid conditions. The Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) predicts mortality based on patients' diseases and provides a

Ultrasound-Assisted Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis for the Management of Pulmonary Embolism:

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology and Therapeutics
Current guidelines recommend anticoagulation alone for low-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) with the addition of systemic thrombolysis for high-risk PE. However, treatment recommendations for intermediate-risk PE are not well-defined.

Pulmonary embolism response teams. A description of the first 36‐month Australian experience

Internal Medicine Journal, Volume 54, Issue 8, Page 1283-1291, August 2024.
Abstract Background High/intermediate‐risk pulmonary embolism (PE) confers increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. International guidelines recommend the formation of a PE response team (PERT) for PE management because of the complexity of risk stratification and emerging treatment options.

Impact of Pulmonary Embolism Response Team on Outcomes of Pulmonary Embolism – Experience from an Indian Tertiary Care Center

Indian Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery
Aims: Pulmonary embolism (PE) remains underdiagnosed and inconsistently managed in the Indian healthcare setting due to specialty-driven silos, lack of standardized referral pathways, and limited access to advanced therapies. Recognizing these challenges,

Ultrasound‐assisted endovascular thrombolysis versus large‐bore thrombectomy in acute intermediate‐high risk pulmonary embolism: The propensity‐matched EKNARI cohort study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 103, Issue 5, Page 758-765, April 1, 2024.
Abstract Background Ultrasound‐assisted thrombolysis (USAT) and large‐bore‐thrombectomy (LBT) are under investigation for the treatment of intermediate‐high and high‐risk pulmonary embolisms (PE). Comparative studies investigating both devices are scarce.

High- and intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism in pediatric tertiary care centers in the Netherlands

Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis
Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) response teams are increasingly used in adult care to improve severe PE management. Understanding the epidemiology, treatment, and outcomes of severe PE in children is crucial to assessing the need for pediatric PE ...

Comparison of Treatment Approaches and Subsequent Outcomes within a Pulmonary Embolism Response Team Registry

Critical Care Research and Practice, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Objectives. To characterize the association between pulmonary embolism (PE) severity and bleeding risk with treatment approaches, outcomes, and complications. Methods. Secondary analysis of an 11‐hospital registry of adult ED patients treated by a PE response team (August 2016–November 2022). Predictors were PE severity and bleeding risk.
