Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Reduction in Right ventricle (RV) / Left Ventricle (LV) ratio

    Reduction in RV/LV ratio from baseline to 48 hours or discharge by (core lab assessed) CT angiography

    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)
