A Prospective Study for the Treatment of Severe Pulmonary Embolism With Pharmacodynamic Thrombectomy

Not Applicable
Conditions
Pulmonary Embolism
Interventions
Device: Pharmacodynamic thrombectomy
Registration Number
NCT04318782
Lead Sponsor
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
Brief Summary

The mortality of severe pulmonary embolisms admitted to the resuscitation department for circulatory failure remains in the range of 30-40% at the acute phase. Hemodynamic failure is the leading cause of death. These patients frequently have a contraindication to thrombolysis. Surgical pulmonary arterial desobstruction still leads to significant hospital mortality and can't be implemented in all hospitals. Concerning advanced hemodynamic support techniques, they can't always reduce mortality on themselves. There is therefore a need for developing alternative approaches for less invasive pulmonary arterial desobstruction. Data on the efficacy and safety of percutaneous methods of desobstruction are still too limited to implement them in current practice.

AngioJet ™ PE is a device CE marked for intra-arterial desobstruction of pulmonary arteries. It has been successfully tested in more than 25 patients with pulmonary embolism in France. Before considering a request for reimbursement from the HAS it is necessary to have propective data of sufficient quality. This phase 2a prospective study is proposed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the AngioJet ™ PE catheter use. The resulting data will allow us to submit a Phase 3 controlled study to an upcoming PHRC-type project call.
