Introducing the Flow Triever Mechanical Thrombectomy Device: A Nonthrombolytic Catheter-directed Approach for Intermediate to High–risk Pulmonary Embolism

Synopsis: The FLARE (FlowTriever Pulmonary Embolectomy Clinical Study) is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter trial in which 106 patients at 18 different US sites with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) were treated with percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy using the FlowTriever Retrieval/Aspiration System. The investigators found that the FlowTriever device met its primary effectiveness endpoint with a mean reduction in the right ventricular/left ventricular ratio at 48 hours of 0.38 (25.1%; P
