From baseline to 48 hours or discharge
Major Adverse Events, a composite of:
Device-related death within 48 hours of the procedure Major bleeding within 48 hours of the procedure Device-related AEs within 48 hours, including: * Clinical deterioration * Pulmonary vascular injury * Cardiac injury
Within 48 hours of the procedure
Study Arms (1)
Vertex Pulmonary Embolectomy System
EXPERIMENTALPatients presenting with clinical signs and symptoms of acute PE and who meet the study criteria will be treated with the Vertex Pulmonary Embolectomy System
Interventions
