Study Overview: This research checks the safety and how well the Vertex Pulmonary Embolectomy System works for people with a sudden lung problem called pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs). The system helps remove these clots without surgery. The study involves one group of people from different centers.
Key Points:
- Participants must be between 18 and 80 years old and show signs of pulmonary embolism within the last 14 days.
- Participants cannot have used certain clot-busting drugs recently or have severe health issues like unstable heart rates or cancer needing chemotherapy.
- Participants must visit the study site for follow-up checks as part of the protocol.
Eligibility: To join, participants need to meet specific health criteria, like having a CT scan showing a clot in the lung arteries and a certain heart size ratio. They must also agree to and be able to attend all required follow-up visits.
