First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study tested a device called the Vertex Pulmonary Embolectomy System in 123 people who had a sudden, serious blood clot in their lungs (pulmonary embolism). The goal was to see if removing the clot could reduce strain on the right side of the heart and lower the risk of major complications like bleeding or heart injury. Participants were treated within 14 days of symptoms starting, and the device was used to safely remove the clot through a blood vessel.
