Abstract No. LBA1 ▪ FEATURED ABSTRACT Clinical Outcomes of Acute Pulmonary Embolism Patients with vs without Syncope and Treated with Computer Assisted Vacuum Thrombectomy: STRIKE-PE Interim Analysis

Syncope, an indicator of compromised cardiac output, is a severe symptom of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) and is associated with a higher prevalence of hemodynamic instability and increased short-term mortality. The STRIKE-PE study is evaluating safety, efficacy, and performance of computer-assisted vacuum thrombectomy (CAVT; Penumbra Inc, Alameda, CA) for the treatment of PE. This interim analysis of 300 patients from STRIKE-PE compares outcomes of acute PE patients with vs without syncope.
