Clot burden reduction based on change in refined modified Miller score

  • Trial met both primary safety and efficacy endpoints
  • Demonstrated significant improvement in RV/LV ratio and large clot burden reduction
  • Minimal blood loss facilitated by blood reinfusion features
  • Brief post-procedure ICU and total hospital length of stay

About the Study

Objective

Evaluate the safety and efficacy of the AVENTUS Thrombectomy System for aspiration thrombectomy in subjects with acute intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism.

Duration of follow-up: 30 days

Study Design

  • Prospective, single-arm, multicenter IDE trial
  • Conducted at 22 U.S. sites
  • Enrolled 120 subjects with acute intermediate-risk PE

Primary Efficacy Endpoint

  • Change in RV/LV ratio from baseline (pre-procedure) to 48 hours post-procedure as measured by CTA

Key Eligibility Criteria

  • Subjects aged 18 to 80 years old
  • Symptom duration ≤ 14 days
  • CTA-documented emboli in pulmonary arteries
  • RV/LV ratio of ≥ 0.9

Primary Safety Endpoint​

Rate of device-related major adverse events (MAEs) within 48 hours of the procedure:

  • Death
  • Major bleed
  • Clinical deterioration
  • Pulmonary vascular injury
  • Cardiac injury

Significant Improvement in Right Ventricular (RV) Function and Reduction in Clot Burden

RV/LV ratio decrease
48-hour RV/LV diameter ratio dropped significantly, by an average of 0.47 (p<0.0001) 

Clot burden reduction
The refined modified Miller score decreased by an average of 35.9%.

The AVENTUS Trial met its primary endpoints, demonstrating both safety and efficacy for the treatment of patients with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE). Results showed significant improvement in right ventricular (RV) function, reduction in clot burden, minimal blood loss, and shorter ICU and hospital stays, with no device-related adverse events reported.
