New registry aims to clarify best use of Clot-Sucking catheter for lung blood clots

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Clinical signs and symptoms consistent with acute pulmonary embolism with duration of 14 days or less * Patients who present with computed tomography confirmed pulmonary embolism * Defined as intermediate or high-risk pulmonary embolism (according to European Society of Cardiology guidelines) * Date of computed tomography imaging from within a two-year period * Patient is greater than or equal to 18 years of age * Informed consent obtained * Evidence of cardiac dysfunction (either biochemical or imaging features of right heart strain) Exclusion Criteria: * Known serious, uncontrolled sensitivity to radiographic agents * Computed tomography not available to evaluate pulmonary embolism * Low-risk pulmonary embolism as defined by European Society of Cardiology guidelines * Current participation in another investigational drug or device study that may confound the results of this study. Studies requiring extended follow-up for products that were investigational but have since become commercially available are not considered investigational * Other medical, social, or psychological conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, preclude the patient from appropriate consent, could limit the patient's ability to participate in the study, including compliance with follow-up requirements, or that could impact the scientific integrity of the study Inclusion Criteria: 1. Clinical signs and symptoms consistent with acute PE with duration of 14 days or less 2. Patients who present with CT confirmed PE 3. Defined as intermediate or high-risk PE (according to ESC guidelines1) 4. Date of CT imaging from within a two-year period 5. Patient is ≥ 18 years of age 6. Informed consent obtained 7. Evidence of cardiac dysfunction (Either biochemical or imaging features of RHS) Exclusion Criteria: * 1\. Known serious, uncontrolled sensitivity to radiographic agents 2. CT not available to evaluate PE 3. Low Risk PE as defined by ESC guidelines1 4. Current participation in another investigational drug or device study that may confound the results of this study. Studies requiring extended follow-up for products that were investigational but have since become commercially available are not considered investigational studies 5. Other medical, social, or psychological conditions that, in the opinion of the Investigator, precludes the patient from appropriate consent, could limit the patient's ability to participate in the study, including compliance with follow-up requirements, or that could impact the scientific integrity of the study
