“Our collaborative work on acute PE care has just been published!
I’m pleased to share our recent paper published in the EHJ – Acute Cardiovascular Care “Trends in Catheter-Directed Therapy and In-Hospital Outcomes Among Patients with Acute Pulmonary Embolism” resulting from a close collaboration between the The PERT Consortium® and the Center for Thrombosis and Hemostasis of the University Medical Center Mainz.
Leveraging the PERT Consortium multicenter registry (2018–2024), encompassing more than 11,000 patients from 51 sites, we analyzed real-world trends in advanced therapies for severe PE.
Key observations:
– Shifting treatment patterns within multidisciplinary PERT-based care with increasing use of catheter-directed therapies
– Compared with a matched national inpatient cohort, PERT registry patients had lower in-hospital mortality and shorter hospital stays
Grateful to the PERT™ Consortium leadership, participating centers, and investigators for their essential contributions, and special thanks to Steven Horbal for support with the dataset.”
