Multicenter Study Comparative StudyIndigo Aspiration System for Treatment of Pulmonary Embolism: Results of the EXTRACT-PE Trial.
This study sought to prospectively evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Indigo aspiration system in submassive acute pulmonary embolism (PE). ⋯ In this prospective, multicenter study the Indigo aspiration system was associated with a significant reduction in the RV/LV ratio and a low major adverse event rate in submassive PE patients. Intraprocedural thrombolytic drugs were avoided in 98.3% of patients. (Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of the Indigo aspiration system in Acute Pulmonary Embolism [EXTRACT-PE]; NCT03218566).
