LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, February 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Pulmonary embolisms affect 370,000 patients per year and may cause up to 100,000 deaths per year. Patients diagnosed with pulmonary embolism may be managed as an outpatient with direct oral anticoagulant therapy if they have no patient characteristics that place them at higher risk of death. Those with known risk factors require hospital admission and patients with hypotension may require thrombolytic therapy.
The American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) guidelines has provided the evidence-based recommendation for antithrombotic therapy for venous thromboembolism (VTE) and is the source most often cited.
