Brief Summary
The purpose of this European Post Market Follow-up Plan is designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, adverse events and any new information that may surface regarding the use of the AngioJet Ultra PE Thrombectomy Catheter System in patients with thrombus in the main pulmonary and lobar arteries ≥ 6mm in diameter.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change in Right Ventricular (RV) to Left Ventricular (LV) Ratio at 24 - 48 Hours as Measured by Echocardiography
The change in the subannular end-diastolic RV/LV ratio at 24-48 hrs following thrombectomy compared to baseline measurements as assessed by an independent core lab analysis. RV and LV values will be measured by echocardiography, a technique utilizing ultrasound waves to assess heart activity.
Baseline to 24-48 hours

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Symptomatic pulmonary embolism patients \>18 years
- Availability of a baseline contrast-enhanced chest computed tomogram or conventional pulmonary angiogram with evidence of pulmonary embolus in at least one main or lobar pulmonary artery ≥ 6mm in diameter
- Availability of a baseline transthoracic echocardiogram with sufficient image quality permitting the measurement of right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) dimensions in the apical or subcostal four-chamber view
- Echocardiographic evidence of right ventricular dilatation with a subannular RV/LV ratio ≥ 0.9 from the apical or subcostal four-chamber view
- Appropriate informed consent was obtained from the patient or legal representative
You may not qualify if:
- Patient has underwent Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) in the last 48 hours
- Patient is participating in any other clinical study
- Pregnancy, lactation or parturition within the previous 30 days (positive pregnancy test, women of childbearing age must be tested or use a medically accepted method of birth control)
- Inability to comply with study Follow-up assessments (e.g. due to geographic)
- Previous enrollment in this study
