Periprocedural Results and Right Ventricular Outcomes of Computer Assisted Vacuum Thrombectomy Treatment of Acute Pulmonary Embolism: Interim Analysis of 300 Patients From the STRIKE‐PE Study
Interim analysis shows computer assisted vacuum thrombectomy improves right ventricular function and reduces adverse events in acute pulmonary embolism patients.
Key Points
The study found significant improvement in right ventricular function after computer assisted vacuum thrombectomy.
The mean RV/left ventricular ratio decreased by 26.8% from baseline to 48 hours post-procedure.
The rate of composite major adverse events within 48 hours post-procedure was low at 2.0%.
Clinical measures, including dyspnea scores, improved significantly after treatment.
