Abstract:
Managing venous thromboembolic disease on-call requires the interventional radiologist consider not only potential risk and benefit to the patient but also available resources in the IR suite as well as throughout the hospital, such as intensive care monitoring during treatment. We demonstrate how our practice manages these on-call cases ranging from deep venous thrombosis to acute pulmonary embolism and decide which patients need emergent treatment and which can undergo delayed intervention during working hours. In all cases, an adequate preprocedural clinical assessment is crucial.
