FlowTriever System benefits pulmonary embolism patients both clinically and functionally
FlowTriever System benefits pulmonary embolism patients both clinically and functionally. A study published in JSCAI: The official journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, has concluded that among pulmonary embolism (PE) patients, 6-month all-cause mortality, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, and chronic thromboembolic disease were low following thrombectomy with the FlowTriever system.
According to researchers, at six months intervals, there was an improvement in right ventricular or RV function, patient symptoms, capacity or exercise, and quality of life (QoL). Researchers reported that rapid thrombus extraction is associated with preventing long-term sequelae in pulmonary embolism patients.
PE, a clinically challenging disease, has both short- and long-term morbidity and mortality. The catheter-based therapeutic options for managing PE have evolved in the past decade. Studies have reported acute safety and effectiveness with FlowTriever System (Inari Medical). This acutely reduced pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), improved RV function, and increased cardiac output during the index hospitalization. There needs to be more certainty of data on the longer-term benefits of large-bore mechanical thrombectomy.
