Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Effectiveness
Change in RV/LV ratio from baseline
48 hours
Safety: Composite of Major Adverse Device-Related Events

48 hours post index procedure
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Safety: Composite of Major Adverse Events

Study Arms (1)
Patients with Acute Pulmonary Embolism
EXPERIMENTALPatients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy for acute pulmonary embolism.
Interventions
The ATC System is designed to mechanically remove emboli and restore blood flow through the pulmonary arteries in patients experiencing acute P
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- The patient is 18 years of age or older and deemed medically eligible for interventional procedure, per institutional guidelines and clinical judgement
- Clinical signs, symptoms and presentation consistent with acute PE
- PE symptom duration ≤ 14 days
- CTA evidence of proximal PE (filling defect in at least one main or lobar pulmonary artery)
- CTA evidence of RV/LV ratio of ≥ 0.9 (NOTE: Enrollment qualification assessment is based on the Investigator's interpretation of RV/LV ratio at baseline)
- Systolic BP ≥ 90 mmHg (initial SBP may be \< 90 mmHg but ≥ 80 mmHg if the pressure recovers with volume resuscitation)
- Stable HR \< 130 BPM prior to the procedure
You may not qualify if:
- Prior PE \<180 days from index procedure
- Thrombolytic use within 30 days prior to baseline CTA
- Pulmonary hypertension with peak pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) \> 70 mmHg by right heart catheterization
- Vasopressor requirement after fluids to keep pressure at ≥ 90 mmHg
- FiO2 requirement \> 40% or \> 6 LPM (to keep oxygen saturation \> 90%)
- Hematocrit \< 28% (Note: hematocrit required within 6 hrs. of index procedure)
- Platelets \< 100,000/μL
- eGFR \<30 ml/min per 1.73 m2
- International normalized ratio (INR) \> 3
- Major trauma injury severity score (ISS) \> 15
- Presence of intracardiac lead in right ventricle or atrium placed ≤ 6 months of enrollment
- Cardiovascular or pulmonary surgery within the last 7 days
- Actively progressing cancer treated by chemotherapeutics
- Known bleeding diathesis or coagulation disorder
- Left bundle branch block
- +13 more criteria
