RAPID-PE is a prospective, multicenter U.S. study evaluating the On-The-Table (OTT) protocol using pharmaco-mechanical lysis (PML). This study uses the BASHIR™ Endovascular Catheter (BEC) without post procedure infusion for the treatment of intermediate-risk acute pulmonary embolism (PE). The study is being conducted at leading vascular and pulmonary embolism response team (PERT) centers across the United States.
“Enrolling 100 patients is a testament to the dedication of our principal investigators, site coordinators, and — most importantly — the patients who trust us with their care,” commented Co-national PI, Wissam Jaber, MD, Emory University, “PE is a life-threatening condition that demands better, faster, and safer treatment options, and RAPID-PE is central to building that evidence base.”
The BASHIR® Endovascular Device is designed to treat pulmonary embolism through pharmaco-mechanical lysis (PML). The device mechanically fragments the thrombus allowing immediate blood flow through the affected vessel. The device also delivers targeted thrombolytics into the thrombus for rapid dissolution. Combining mechanical fragmentation and thrombolytic therapy provides optimal clot resolution.
