About this trial
This study is a prospective, single-arm, interventional, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy using the Akura Thrombectomy System in subjects with acute pulmonary embolism (PE).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
The patient is 18 years of age or older and deemed medically eligible for interventional procedure, per institutional guidelines and clinical judgement
Clinical signs, symptoms and presentation consistent with acute PE
PE symptom duration ≤ 14 days
CTA evidence of proximal PE (filling defect in at least one main or lobar pulmonary artery)
Disqualifiers
Prior PE <180 days from index procedure
Thrombolytic use within 30 days prior to baseline CTA
Pulmonary hypertension with peak pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) > 70 mmHg by right heart catheterization
Vasopressor requirement after fluids to keep pressure at ≥ 90 mmHg
Trial design
Single group
