Each case undergoes urgent evaluation, followed by the development of an individualized treatment plan based on the severity of the condition and the patient's clinical status within an integrated care pathway focused on rapid intervention and high-quality outcomes.

Available treatment options under the program include catheter-directed thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy, surgical pulmonary embolectomy, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement, and anticoagulant therapy, enabling the provision of advanced, patient-specific treatment solutions.
