Thanks for the response! I’m interested in the cases where the report does not comment specifically on pulmonary embolism and just reports filling defect (which isn’t terribly uncommon in some groups)

Misperceptions of pharmacology and advanced procedures was common. For example, the belief that anticoagulation is withheld during catheter directed thrombectomy was essentially ubiquitous. Lots of fun work to come in this space!

Surprisingly, although people had a general preference for one anticoagulant, they were pretty agnostic to the choice. There was this circular practice of EM starting UFH to allow HM more choices followed by therapeutic momentum (HM continues what ED started).

Stay tuned to a forthcoming publication in JAMA network open 1/3/25 in which we studied this!
