Brief summary

The investigation aims to demonstrate initial safety and efficacy of the AngioVac System for the removal of vegetation in the right heart in patients with infective endocarditis.

Detailed description

This is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm investigational device study evaluating safety and effectiveness.

Interventions

DEVICEAngioVac System

Percutaneous vacuum-assisted aspiration of right-sided vegetation via suction, filtration and veno-venous bypass.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of Clinical Success30 days post-procedureThe number and proportion of patients who experience clinical success, defined as a composite of 30-day survival, absence of persistent bacteremia within 30 days post-procedure, and absence of further right-sided valve intervention through 30 days post-procedure
Rate of Major Adverse Events (MAEs)48 hours post-procedureThe number and proportion of subjects who experience a MAE within 48 hours post-procedure. MAEs include: all-cause mortality, major bleeding, and device- or procedure-related adverse events of cardiac perforation, vascular perforation, dissection, or pericardial effusion/tamponade
