2 Time is of the Essence: IPER Pathophysiology of Risk: Role of the RV Time course of death due to PE vs. other causes The risk of death from PE is measured in hours Casazza F, et al. Thromb Res 2012;130:847 Piazza G and Goldhaber SZ. Circulation 2010;122:1124 VTE Has Chronic Complications Post-PE Syndrome Spectrum: ELOPE Cohort Study Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (~4% of PE patients) Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (25-50% of treated DVT patients) Klok FA, et al. Blood Reviews 2014; 28: 221

3 Clinical Decision Rule for Assessing Risk of PE Evaluation and Risk Stratification Variable Points Clinical symptoms and signs of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) 3.0 Alternative diagnosis less likely than PE 3.0 Heart rate greater than 100 beats per minute 1.5 Recent immobilization or surgery 1.5 Previous venous thromboembolism 1.5 Hemoptysis 1.0 Malignancy receiving treatment or palliative care within the last 6 months 1.0 PE unlikely 4 points. PE likely >4 points. van Belle A, et al. JAMA 2006;295:172-9 Diagnostic Algorithm for PE Case No. 1 A 58-year-old man with hypertension presents with sudden onset dyspnea and pleuritic pain. He is tachycardic to 110 bpm, normotensive at 116/72 mmhg, and hypoxemic with an O 2 saturation of 88% on room air. His cardiac troponin T is elevated to 0.4 ng/ml. He undergoes CT angiography to assess for PE.

4 Spectrum of Disease Spectrum of Outcomes Massive PE (~5%) Hypotension, syncope, cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest Respiratory failure Often fatal if aggressive care not instituted Catastrophic PE (<1%) Super-massive PE Refractory cardiogenic shock Ongoing CPR Submassive PE (~25%) Normotensive Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is present Increased risk of adverse outcomes PE with normal BP and RV function (~70%) Normotensive Normal RV function Excellent prognosis with anticoagulation alone Wood KE.

Am J Cardiol 2006;97:127 Potential Advantages of Catheter-Directed Fibrinolysis Avoids the high risk of major bleeding associated with systemic fibrinolysis Including intracranial hemorrhage More complete thrombus resolution Catheter-directed fibrinolysis targets the area of highest thrombotic burden More effective for subacute thrombus Pharmacomechanical therapy enhances fibrinolytic surface area by conditioning or fragmenting the thrombus

N Engl J Med 2017;376:1211 DOAC OR Low- or Conventional- Intensity Warfarin Low-Dose Aspirin OR Low-Dose Apixaban or Rivaroxaban Take Home Points 1. Risk stratification is a critical step in VTE evaluation to identify PE and DVT patients who benefit from advanced therapy. 2. Selection of advanced therapies and anticoagulation strategies depends on assessment of the patient s risk of adverse outcomes and major bleeding. 3. Determining the optimal anticoagulation regimen should consider risk of recurrence, risk of bleeding, and patient preference.
