Abstract
Over the past decade, new modalities have emerged to treat acute pulmonary embolism (PE). However, PE remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In the absence of robust clinical trial data and definitive guidelines and recommendations for a variety of clinical situations, individual patient treatment decisions have become paradoxically more challenging as innovation in the space has grown. In this review, we discuss a practical and current approach to patients diagnosed with PE, focusing on their risk stratification and treatment selection.
