Emergent mechanical thrombectomy for right atrial clot and massive pulmonary embolism using FlowTriever.

Abstract

Right heart thrombus and pulmonary embolism is a condition that requires emergent treatment with reported fatal outcomes. Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy of right heart clot has been described with the use of AngioVac. We describe the use of FlowTriever device as a feasible alternative to treat clot in transit.
