Summary

Watch this EuroPCR 2025 session on pulmonary embolism to explore the role of computer-assisted vacuum thrombectomy (CAVT) as an alternative to medical treatment in high-risk (massive) PE, supported by insights from the STRIKE PE study. Discover how CAVT rapidly and effectively offloads the right ventricle in intermediate-high-risk PE patients, especially those with a high bleeding risk. Review safety and efficacy data from a cohort of 450 patients demonstrating consistent procedural success. In short, this video provides a clear understanding of key procedural considerations, the latest evidence on Penumbra technology, and how ongoing innovation is shaping the future of PE management.
