Hamadi et al. (2026) conducted a cross-sectional in Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT) coverage (n=15). Alternating Interventional Radiology-Cardiology PERT coverage model vs. Interventional Radiology-only model was evaluated on Perceived effectiveness of the alternating coverage structure. An alternating Interventional Radiology-Cardiology PERT coverage model was perceived as effective by 80% of respondents and reduced burnout for 100%, despite ongoing workflow challenges.
