: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third leading cause of cardiovascular mortality. Patients with PE can present with a wide array of symptoms, ranging from mild to life threatening. The mainstay of PE treatment is anticoagulation; however, there are many advanced options available for more severe patients, including catheter-directed interventions, surgical treatments, and hemodynamic support. Although different risk scores and clinical guidelines exist, the primary treating teams are frequently left uncertain on the most suitable treatment for a specific complex patient. Pulmonary Embolism Response Teams (PERT), composed of multidisciplinary experts, have emerged and been implemented in many centers and are available 24 hours a day to help guide the primary team. PERTs have changed the way complex PE patients are managed. In centers with a PERT, teams are called upon very frequently and there is a significant increase in the use of advanced treatments for PE, although there are differences between centers based upon the center's specific PERT protocol and available capabilities. As PE is an evolving area, and more studies are necessary, PERTs around the world can help advance the field and improve the treatment offered to PE patients.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may predispose patients to venous thromboembolism (VTE). Limited data are available on the utilization of the Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT) in the setting of the COVID-19 global pandemic. We performed a single-center study to evaluate treatment, mortality, and bleeding outcomes in patients who received PERT consultations in March and April 2020, compared to historical controls from the same period in 2019. Clinical data were abstracted from the electronic medical record. The primary study endpoints were inpatient mortality and GUSTO moderate-to-severe bleeding. The frequency of PERT utilization was nearly threefold higher during March and April 2020 ( n = 74) compared to the same period in 2019 ( n = 26). During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was significantly less PERT-guided invasive treatment (5.5% vs 23.1%, p = 0.02) with a numerical but not statistically significant trend toward an increase in the use of systemic fibrinolytic therapy (13.5% vs 3.9%, p = 0.3). There were nonsignificant trends toward higher in-hospital mortality or moderate-to-severe bleeding in patients receiving PERT consultations during the COVID-19 period compared to historical controls (mortality 14.9% vs 3.9%, p = 0.18 and moderate-to-severe bleeding 35.1% vs 19.2%, p = 0.13). In conclusion, PERT utilization was nearly threefold higher during the COVID-19 pandemic than during the historical control period. Among patients evaluated by PERT, in-hospital mortality or moderate-to-severe bleeding were not significantly different, despite being numerically higher, while invasive therapy was utilized less frequently during the COVID-19 pandemic.
