About this trial
This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial of the FlowTriever System plus anticoagulation compared to anticoagulation alone for intermediate-risk acute PE.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age at enrollment ≥ 18 years
Objective evidence of a proximal filling defect in at least one main or lobar pulmonary artery, as confirmed by CTPA, pulmonary angiography, or other imaging modality
RV dysfunction, as defined as one or more of the following: RV/LV ratio ≥ 0.9 or RV dilation or hypokinesis
Symptom onset within 14 days of confirmed PE diagnosis
Disqualifiers
Unable to be anticoagulated with heparin, enoxaparin or other parenteral antithrombin
Presentation with hemodynamic instability* that meets the high-risk PE definition in the 2019 ESC Guidelines1, including ANY of the following
Cardiac arrest OR
Systolic BP < 90 mmHg or vasopressors required to achieve a BP ≥ 90 mmHg despite adequate filling status, AND end-organ hypoperfusion OR
Trial design
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
FlowTriever System
DeviceMechanical Thrombectomy for pulmonary embolism
Anticoagulation Agents
DrugCommercially available/market approved anticoagulation medication including but not limited to: Heparin Sodium, Coumadin, Rivaroxaban, Apixaban, etc. Anticoagulants are a group of medications that decrease your blood's ability to clot.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Composite clinical endpoint constructed as a win ratio, a hierarchy of the following, which are assessed post-randomization:
* All-cause mortality by 30 days, or * Clinical deterioration, defined by hemodynamic or respiratory worsening, through discharge or up to 30 days after randomization, whichever is sooner, or * All-cause hospital re-admission by 30 days, or * Bailout therapy, either after a deterioration or after documented failure to progress, through discharge or up to 30 days after randomization, whichever is sooner, or * Change in Dyspnea, by mMRC from Baseline to the 48-hour visit
Secondary outcomes
Composite clinical endpoint constructed as a win ratio hierarchy of the following three components, assessed post randomization:
* All-cause mortality, by 30 days, or * Clinical deterioration defined by hemodynamic or respiratory worsening, through discharge or up to 30 days after randomization, whichever is sooner, or * All-cause readmission, by 30 days
All-cause and PE-related mortality
