Pulmonary Embolism
Conditions
Brief summary
For a prospective, single-arm clinical study, this study plans to recruit patients with acute pulmonary intravascular embolization, use production of transcatheter pulmonary artery bolt system which named 'TwiFlow-Thrombectomy Catheter System' developed by the MorningSide (NanTong) medical device Co., LTD. on pulmonary artery interventional therapy, for evaluating the efficacy and safety of this novel system in the treatment of patients with pulmonary intravascular embolization disease.
Detailed description
As a prospective, single-arm clinical study, the investigators plan to evaluate the new production's efficacy and safety which named 'TwiFlow-Thrombectomy Catheter System'. This study will be carried out in Xiamen Cardiovascular Hospital, Xiamen University. A total of 3 subjects are planned to be enrolled. After screening, all subjects will be treated with transcatheter pulmonary artery thrombectomy system, and clinical follow-up will be conducted at 48 hours, 14 days and 30 days after surgery. Right Ventricular/Left Ventricular decline from baseline to 48 hours after surgery and the incidence of major adverse events (MAE) within 48 hours after surgery were used as primary endpoints. In instrument performance evaluation, the success rate of surgery, postoperative immediate target lesion embolus removal efficiency, pulmonary artery pressure changes before and after operation value, values of arterial oxygen partial pressure changes before and after operation, death rates related to the equipment in 48 hours after surgery, incident rate of bleeding in 48 hours after operation, postoperative clinical deterioration rate in 48 hours after surgery, postoperative pulmonary vascular injury incidence in 48 hours after surgery, the incidence of heart damage injury in 48 hours after surgery, all-cause death rate in 30 days after surgery, and symptomatic Pulmonary Embolization recurrence rate in 30 days after surgery were secondary endpoints.
Interventions
Patients with acute pulmonary embolism and meeting the conditions of this clinical trial will accept the pulmonary embolism removal operation by the novel device named 'TwiFlow-Thrombectomy Catheter System'.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Right Ventricular/Left Ventricular decline from baseline to 48 hours after surgery | before and 48 hours after surgery | Right Ventricular (RV) and Left Ventricular (LV) were recorded during the screening period and 48 hours after surgery by echocardiography or pulmonary artery CT (CTPA), and RV/LV and RV/LV reduction were calculated. The target RV/LV reduction from baseline to 48 hours after surgery was at least 0.2 |
| The incidence of major adverse events (MAE) within 48 hours after surgery | 48 hours after surgery | The incidence of major adverse events (MAE) during and 48 hours after surgery was observed and recorded, and the incidence of MAE was calculated (referring to the definition of MAE). The target incidence of MAE 48 hours after surgery was less than 25%. MAE events defined as those occurring within 48 hours of treatment include device-related death, massive bleeding, pulmonary vascular injury, and cardiac injury. Haemorrhage: Disabling or life-threatening bleeding, or severe haemodynamic injury. Pulmonary vascular injury: Defined as perforation or injury of a major pulmonary artery branch requiring surgical open surgical intervention. Cardiac injury: Defined as heart injury requiring surgical open surgical intervention. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| postoperative immediate target lesion embolus removal efficiency | before the pulmonary intravascular embolization removal procedure began and after the embolization removal operation end immediately | Thrombus clearance = (postoperative target vascular diameter - preoperative target vascular diameter)/preoperative target vascular diameter x100%. The thrombus clearance rate of target lesions can be divided into three grades: \<50%, 50-90% and \> 90% respectively, in which the thrombus clearance rate ≥50% is effective. |
| pulmonary artery pressure changes before and after operation value | before the pulmonary intravascular embolization removal procedure began and after the embolization removal operation end immediately | Changes in pulmonary artery pressure before and after operation = postoperative pulmonary artery pressure - preoperative pulmonary artery pressure |
| values of arterial oxygen partial pressure changes before and after operation | before the pulmonary intravascular embolization removal procedure began and after the embolization removal operation end immediately | Preoperative and postoperative arterial oxygen partial pressure = postoperative arterial oxygen partial pressure - preoperative arterial oxygen partial pressure |
| death rates related to the equipment in 48 hours after surgery | 48 hours after surgery | death rates |
| incident rate of bleeding in 48 hours after operation | 48 hours after surgery | incident rate of bleeding |
| instrument performance evaluation | intraoperative period | Whether the plug remover is delivered to the specified location or not, whether the thrombectomy stent was successfully deployed or not, whether the plug is retracted successfully or not, whether the thrombectomy device safely removed from the body or not. Whether the conveying system delivers to the specified location or not, whether the delivery system safely removed from the body or not. |
| postoperative pulmonary vascular injury incidence in 48 hours after surgery | 48 hours after surgery | Pulmonary vascular injury: Defined as perforation or injury of a major pulmonary artery branch requiring surgical open surgical intervention. |
| the incidence of heart damage injury in 48 hours after surgery | 48 hours after surgery | Cardiac injury: Defined as heart injury requiring surgical open surgical intervention. |
| all-cause death rate in 30 days after surgery | 30 days after surgery | all-cause death |
| symptomatic Pulmonary Embolization recurrence rate in 30 days after surgery | 30 days after surgery | patients present with pulmonary embolism again |
| postoperative clinical deterioration rate in 48 hours after surgery | 48 hours after surgery | Clinical deterioration include instrumentation related events such as unplanned endotracheal intubation, mechanical ventilation, arterial hypotension (\>1 hour) or shock, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, significant deterioration of oxygenation, and emergency surgical embolectomy |
| the success rate of surgery | intraoperative period | Surgical success was defined as successful thrombectomy without MAE. |
