Overview
This study is a prospective, single-arm, interventional, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the ATC System in subjects with acute pulmonary embolism (PE).
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patient is ≥ 18 and ≤ 90 years old
- Clinical signs and symptoms consistent with acute PE for \< 14 days
- CTA evidence of proximal PE
- RV/LV ratio \> 0.9
- Systolic BP ≥90 mmHg without the need for vasopressors
- Stable heart rate (HR) \< 130 BPM prior to procedure
- Patient is deemed medically eligible for interventional procedure(s), per investigator guidelines and clinical judgment
- Subject or legally authorized representative (LAR) is willing and able to provide written informed consent prior to receiving any non-standard of care protocol specific procedures
Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior PE \< 180 days from index procedure
- Thrombolytic use \< 30 days prior to baseline CTA
- Pulmonary hypertension with peak pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) \>70 mmHg by right heart catheterization
- FiO2 requirement \>40% or \>6 LPM to keep oxygen saturation \>90%
- Hematocrit \<28%
- Platelets count \<100,000/µL
- Serum creatinine \>1.8 mg/dL
- International normalized ratio (INR) \>3
- Major trauma injury severity score (ISS) \>15 prior to screening assessment
- Presence of intracardiac lead in right ventricle or atrium placed within 6 months prior to screening assessment
- Cardiovascular or pulmonary surgery within 7 days of index procedure
- Actively progressing cancer treated by chemotherapeutics
- Known bleeding diathesis or coagulation disorder
- Left bundle branch block
- History of severe or chronic pulmonary arterial hypertension
- History of chronic left heart disease with left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 30%
- History of decompensated heart failure
- History of underlying lung disease that is oxygen dependent
- History of chest irradiation
- History of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT)
- Contraindication to systemic or therapeutic doses of anticoagulants
- Known anaphylactic reaction to radiographic contrast agents that cannot be pretreated
- Imaging evidence or other evidence that suggest, in the opinion of the investigator, the Subject is not appropriate for aspiration thrombectomy intervention
- Life expectancy \<90 days, as determined by investigator such as stage 4 cancer, frailty or severe COVID infections
- Female who is pregnant or nursing
- Current participation in another investigational drug or device treatment study.
