Research Consensus Panel Follow-Up: Eight-year Update on Submassive Pulmonary Embolism.
Review
Overview
abstract
The 2015 Research Consensus Panel (RCP) on submassive pulmonary embolism (PE) set priorities for research in submassive PE, and identified a rigorous randomized trial of catheter-directed therapy (CDT) plus anticoagulation versus anticoagulation alone as the highest research priority. This update, written 8 years after the RCP was convened, describes the current state of endovascular PE practice and the Pulmonary Embolism-Thrombus Removal with Catheter-Directed Therapy (PE-TRACT) trial, the main output from the RCP.
