CAVT with Anticoagulation Significantly Improves Functional Outcomes in PE Patients, RCT Shows

Latest Data from Landmark STORM-PE Randomized Controlled Trial Demonstrate that CAVT with Anticoagulation Significantly Improves Functional Outcomes for Patients with Pulmonary Embolism

The STORM-PE RCT data presented at the VIVA 2025 Conference showed PE patients treated with CAVT in combination with anticoagulation demonstrated significantly greater improvements in thrombus burden reduction, heart rate, oxygen requirement, and functional outcomes compared to those who received…

CAVT with anticoagulation significantly improves functional outcomes in PE patients, RCT shows

Rachel Rosovsky presents during VIVA 2025 Mechanical thrombectomy by means of computer-assisted vacuum thrombectomy (CAVT) using the 16Fr Lightning Flash system (Penumbra) along with anticoagulation for acute-to-intermediate pulmonary embolism (PE) demonstrated functional assessment improvements, earlier physiological recovery and greater reduction in pulmonary artery obstruction when compared to anticoagulation alone. These were among the lates…
