Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looked at a device called the FlowTriever, which is used to remove blood clots from the lungs in people with a serious condition called acute pulmonary embolism. Researchers followed 1,200 patients to see how safe and effective the device was in real-world use. The goal was to track major problems like death, major bleeding, or injury to the lungs or heart within 48 hours of the procedure.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
FlowTriever System (a device to remove blood clots from lung arteries) and anticoagulation medication
What this could lead to
If successful, this could confirm that the FlowTriever device is a safe and effective way to treat acute pulmonary embolism, potentially reducing complications and improving recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a registry study, not a randomized trial, so results may be influenced by patient selection. The device carries risks like bleeding or injury to blood vessels, and it may not work for all patients.

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 PE * Echo, CTPA or pulmonary angiographic evidence of proximal filling defect in at least one main or lobar pulmonary artery * Scheduled for PE treatment with the FlowTriever System per the Investigator's discretion\* * US only: Patients enrolled in the Conservative Therapy Sub-study are not required to meet this inclusion criteria but must instead be scheduled for primary anticoagulation therapy as the primary treatment strategy. Exclusion Criteria: * Unable to be anticoagulated with heparin or alternative * Diagnosis with a minor PE with a less than 0.9 RV/LV ratio * Known sensitivity to radiographic contrast agents that, in the Investigator's opinion, cannot be adequately pre-treated\* * Imaging evidence or other evidence that suggests, in the Investigator's opinion, the subject is not appropriate for mechanical thrombectomy intervention\* * Life expectancy \< 30 days, as determined by Investigator * Current participation in another investigational drug or device treatment study that, in the Investigator's opinion, would interfere with participation in this study * US Only Patients enrolled in the Conservative Therapy Sub-study are not required to meet these exclusion criteria
