In this issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinics, guest editor Dr. Vikas Aggarwal brings his considerable expertise to the topic of Pulmonary Embolism Interventions. Top experts in the field respond to the recent rise in interest to manage and invasively treat patients with acute and chronic pulmonary embolism (PE), covering key topics such as hemodynamic profiling of PE; catheter-directed thrombolysis or catheter-based thrombectomy in acute PE; mechanical circulatory support and critical care management of high-risk acute PE; open surgical treatment for acute and chronic PE; exercise testing, medical management, and rehabilitation in chronic PE; and more.
