Dear colleagues,

It gives great pleasure to invite you to the European Pulmonary Embolism Response Expertise Conference in Rome, Italy: EXPERT-PE 2026.

The organizing committee of EXPERT-PE 2026 has set the dates at 27-28 November 2026.

EXPERT-PE 2026 is dedicated to increase knowledge on the best practice, multi-disciplinary, initial and chronic management of acute severe pulmonary embolism.

The field of acute pulmonary embolism has seen an impressive evolution in recent years. Interventional treatment as well as novel antithrombotic strategies have considerably changed the treatment of acute pulmonary embolism, and extensive research is ongoing into the optimal use of existing treatment modalities in individual patients.

The program for the upcoming EXPERT 2026 conference covers many aspects of the disease, with an overall focus on a multidisciplinary approach, ranging from diagnosis to interventional treatment, medical and multimodal therapy.

Our goal is to offer a platform for sharing and discussing the latest scientific and clinical developments in severe pulmonary embolism, and we will enable an informative and dynamic conference.

The conference is designed for practicing clinicians, who regularly care for patients with acutepulmonary embolism, and we thus welcome (interventional) cardiologists, pulmonologists, intensivists, vascular medicine specialists, hematologists, angiologists, and (interventional) radiologists.

We look forward to welcoming you all in beautiful Rome!
