Conditions

Acute Pulmonary Embolism, Pulmonary Embolism

Brief summary

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous mechanical aspiration thrombectomy using the AlphaVac Multipurpose Mechanical Aspiration (MMA) F1885 PE in a prospective trial of patients with acute intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE).

Interventions

DEVICEAlphaVac Multipurpose Mechanical Aspiration (MMA) F1885 PE

The AngioDynamics' AlphaVac Multipurpose Mechanical Aspiration (MMA) F1885 PE has five main components, a flexible cannula (F1885), sheath, tapered obturator, aspirator handle, and waste bag.
