Workshop on the Treatment of Pulmonary Embolism-Panel Discussion on Latest IDE Studies

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The workshop discussed upcoming developments in the field, particularly focusing on large trials in progress and new medical device advancements through the 510K regulatory pathway. Several Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs), including HiPytho, Storm PE, Peerless 2, and PE Tracked, are under progress, aiming to present significant data in the coming years. Additionally, various medical devices, such as the Ventus Inquis study, AlphaVac, and others are either being trialed or have received FDA approval. These devices are designed to improve intervention procedures with features enhancing usability and efficacy. The discussion highlighted the growing innovation in the space, with multiple startups developing thrombectomy technologies. Key needs include devices that simplify procedures, improve patient outcomes, and broaden access to care. Despite these advancements, the market impact depends on RCT outcomes. A possible increase in procedural interventions is anticipated if trials show superiority over pharmacotherapy, with a focus on enhancing functional outcomes and addressing unmet clinical needs.
