Video Summary

The workshop session, led by Dr. Ketchi Ijeoma and panelists, discussed the importance of conducting multiple randomized controlled trials to build a comprehensive evidence base in interventional cardiology. One key focus was the STORM-PE trial, which aims to evaluate if a thrombectomy-first solution can offload the right ventricle (RV) faster than traditional anticoagulation in intermediate high-risk patients with acute pulmonary embolism. The trial involves 100 patients, uses wearable technology for follow-up, and seeks to inform larger future studies about patient selection, endpoints, and trial designs.
