Pulmonary embolism response teams: Purpose, evidence for efficacy, and future research directions
Abstract Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Although new therapeutic tools and strategies have recently been developed for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with PE, the outcomes for patients who present with massive or high‐risk PE remain...
