Pulmonary Embolism

For hemodynamically unstable patients with massive or submassive PEs, we have MASCOT (Massive and Sub-massive Clot On-call Team). This interdisciplinary team consists of an attending cardiologist, pulmonologist, hematologist, interventional radiologist, vascular surgery, and cardiac surgery.

The cardiology fellow coordinates the patient's care in the ED and convenes a conference call with the MASCOT team in order to reach a consensus on which treatment strategies to employ, which may include IV or catheter-directed thrombolysis or interventional clot retrieval.

MASCOT can be reached through the dashboard.
