Join this interactive townhall exploring the rapidly evolving landscape of pulmonary embolism (PE) management. This session will review emerging evidence from key studies, including HI-PEITHO and STORM-PE, and discuss how these findings are shaping the 2026 American Heart Association (AHA) and American College of Cardiology (ACC) joint guidelines. Panelists will examine the Five-Tier Clinical Classification (A–E) for PE risk stratification and discuss how new data are influencing treatment decisions, including the expanding role of advanced and endovascular therapies. The discussion will focus on real-world patient selection, outcomes, and practical challenges in integrating new evidence into clinical practice.
