MethodsA writing group was established with representation from the Council on Peripheral Vascular Disease and Council on Cardiopulmonary, Critical Care, Perioperative and Resuscitation of the American Heart Association and vetted by American Heart Association leadership. All writing group members were required to disclose all relationships with industry and other entities relevant to the subject. The writing group was subdivided into the 3 areas of statement focus, and each subgroup was led by a member with content expertise (deep venous thrombosis [SV], pulmonary embolism [SZG], and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension [PAT]). The writing groups systematically reviewed and summarized the relevant published literature and incorporated this information into a manuscript with draft recommendations. Differences in opinion were dealt with through a face-to-face meeting and subsequently through electronic and telephone communications. The final document reflects the consensus opinion of the entire committee. Areas of uncertainty are also noted in hopes that both basic and clinical research will advance knowledge in this area. The American Heart Association Levels of Evidence were adopted (Table 1). External reviewers appointed by the American Heart Association independently reviewed the document. Each recommendation required a confidential vote by the writing group members after external review of the document. Any writing group member with a relationship with industry relevant to the recommendation was recused from the voting on that recommendation. Disclosure of relationships is included in this document (Writing Group Disclosure Table).
