Pulmonary embolism (PE) remains one of the most complex and high-stakes emergencies in medicine. In this episode of the ISTH Pulse Podcast, we’re joined by Stavros Konstantinides, M.D., to explore why gaps in PE treatment persist and how emerging evidence may help close them. Dr. Konstantinides breaks down the current landscape of PE management, the limitations of anticoagulation alone and the real-world impact of variability in care. Plus, listeners will hear results from STORM-PE randomized controlled trial, which could influence frontline clinical practice and patient access to advanced PE therapies. Please note that this episode is supported by Penumbra.
