DVT Treatment in 2024: The Critical Role of Interventional Care

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) treatment continues to challenge interventionalists. How do you approach the DVT patient with concomitant PE? How do you best determine if the thrombus is acute or chronic? And how do you safely treat challenging deep vein anatomies? Find the answers in this article, featuring the hands-on experience of Dr. Adam Raskin.

Management of Clot in Transit: Challenges & Solutions

Through the lens of different case studies, Dr. Rehan Quadri underscores critical elements to successfully treating clot in transit, including pre-procedural planning and equipment competency. He also dives into two common challenges when treating clot in transit: concomitant pulmonary embolism and shunts.

Clot in Transit: Definition, Diagnosis & Decision Making

Dr. Rehan Quadri discusses the indications for treating patients with, what he calls, “clot in transit”. Using real examples from his experiences as a new attending at UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dr. Quadri outlines the clinical course for patients with clot in transit, from diagnosis to management.

Pulmonary embolism response team meeting to discuss an acute pulmonary embolism case

A pulmonary embolism response team (PERT) requires a multidisciplinary mindset, clear communication channels, and effective use of technology to treat life threatening pulmonary embolism cases.

Mechanical thrombectomy is a pulmonary embolism intervention that allows for rapid clot extraction

Pulmonary embolism interventions include catheter-directed thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy, & surgical embolectomy. Patient selection, devices (i.e. EKOS catheter), tPA for pulmonary embolism, clot characteristics, & the availability of data for intervention types are covered in this article.

Pulmonary embolism diagnosis involves risk stratification, cardiac enzyme studies, and echocardiogram and/or CT

Pulmonary embolism diagnosis involves risk stratification, cardiac enzyme studies, and echocardiogram and/or CT.
