Workshop on the Treatment of Pulmonary Embolism: PE With Shock (CME)
This session will delineate the ideal scenarios for selecting treatment modalities for massive pulmonary embolism (PE). It will cover systemic lysis, catheter-based interventions, surgical approaches, and mechanical circulatory support (MCS) such as ECMO. Each section will describe patient selection criteria, procedural indications, and technical considerations to optimize outcomes. The objective is to provide a clear framework to determine the most appropriate intervention based on patient-specific factors and clinical presentation.
