Overview
Taking place on 6 April, this ERS Vision Live panel discussion focuses on the management of acute pulmonary embolism.
The expert panellists will be discussing key areas, including:
- The first steps in caring for a patient with acute pulmonary embolism
- The recent evolution in the management of anticoagulant therapy for patients with pulmonary embolism and cancer.
- And finally, what we can expect from more advanced therapies in patients with acute pulmonary embolism.
Chairs:
- Prof. Laurent Bertoletti – Head of the vascular unit in the university hospital from St-Etienne, France, national coordinator of the RIETE registry, the larger on-going registry of patients with venous thromboembolism, and coordinator of the French INNOVTE network, a network involved in the VTE research.
- Prof. Remedios Otero – Pulmonologist in Hospital Universitario Virgen del Rocio (HUVR) of Seville (Spain), Head of a group of experimental laboratories in respiratory diseases in Biomedicine Institute in Seville (IBIS) and Associate Professor in the Seville University and part of the multidisciplinary research network CIBER of Respiratory Diseases.
