Heghine Khachatryan: Multidisciplinary PERTs Transform Pulmonary Embolism Care
Heghine Khachatryan, Editor-in-Chief of Hemostasis Today, Head of Hemophilia and Thrombosis Center at Yeolyan Hematology and Oncology Center, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“ISTH 2026 | Paris | Day 1
One of the most valuable lessons from today’s symposium extended beyond devices and clinical trials—it focused on building systems of excellence for pulmonary embolism care.
The discussion highlighted that successful management of acute PE depends not only on selecting the optimal therapy, but also on establishing an organized Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT) with clear objectives, standardized treatment algorithms, multidisciplinary expertise, and continuous outcome assessment.
Key messages included:
- Define institutional goals and treatment pathways before implementing advanced therapies.
- Build a multidisciplinary team integrating hematology, cardiology, emergency medicine, intensive care, radiology, vascular surgery, and cardiac surgery.
- Ensure timely access to appropriate technologies while maintaining evidence-based patient selection.
- Collect clinical outcomes and continuously refine protocols to improve quality of care.
- Above all, recognize that the greatest benefit comes from coordinated expertise rather than technology alone.
Perhaps the most important message of the session was that excellent outcomes are achieved not by performing more interventions, but by selecting the right patients, making timely multidisciplinary decisions, and delivering the right treatment at the right moment.
As thrombosis care continues to evolve, structured collaboration is becoming just as important as scientific innovation.
