Summary

This trial compares the use of the FlowTriever System to the standard treatment for high-risk pulmonary embolism.

Who is the study for?

The PERSEVERE study is for adults over 18 with a high-risk class of acute pulmonary embolism (PE), which means they have a blockage in the lung's main artery. They must also show right ventricle dysfunction due to this condition and be able to start treatment within 4 hours of diagnosis.

What is being tested?

This randomized controlled trial compares two treatments for severe PE: the standard care typically given for such cases versus an intervention using the FlowTriever System, which is designed to remove blood clots from the arteries in the lungs.

What are the potential side effects?

While specific side effects are not listed here, interventions like FlowTriever may cause discomfort at the insertion site, bleeding, or other complications related to clot removal procedures. Standard care side effects depend on the exact treatment but can include bleeding from anticoagulants.
