Highlights the clinical role of pulmonary embolism response teams during surgery, suggesting multidisciplinary care improves prognosis and reduces long-term complications.
Acute pulmonary embolism represents a frequent cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, only exceeded by acute coronary syndromes and cerebrovascular disease. The start-up and implementation of a designated pulmonary embolism response team (PERT) are necessary to improve prognosis and minimize long-term sequelae in the subgroup of patients with significant pulmonary embolism. Herein, we describe and discuss an overview of the current and potential role of PERT, with a focus on the perioperative period.
