A Large-Diameter Thrombus Retrieving Device for Intermediate-Risk Acute Pulmonary Embolism Treatment: A Single-Arm Prospective Clinical Trial

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal.  Globally, acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third leading cause of cardiovascular-related deaths after myocardial infarction and stroke. Several studies have reported increased annual incidence of PE and consequently social medical burden. Determining how to treat acute PE more safely and effectively, while decreasing long-term complications, remains an important issue in medicine.

The aim of this study was to report the results of a single-arm clinical trial in intermediate-risk patients with acute PE treated with a device for large-diameter thrombus aspiration (16 F or greater) and mechanical thrombectomy.
