Session 2.1 | Pulmonary Embolism: Guidelines, Evidence and Interventional Decision‑Making

Chair: Sahil Parikh

Panel: Sanjum Sethi; Jay Mathews; Gregory Piazza; Jay Giri

PE management has evolved dramatically. This session cuts through the evidence landscape, from HI-PEITHO and PEERLESS to the new ACC/AHA A–E risk classification to clarify when catheter-directed therapy truly adds value. Dr Sanjum Sethi sets the stage with a comprehensive technology overview, Dr Jay Mathews demonstrates medium-bore thrombectomy live and Dr Greg Piazza unpacks the 2026 guidelines in clinical practice. Dr Jay Giri walks through a complex large-bore case with clot-in-transit. Essential viewing for anyone building or refining a PE response team.
