Study summary

The study is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Vibrato™ Aspiration System for aspiration mechanical thrombectomy in the treatment of acute PE. This is the First in Man clinical study.

Read the detailed description

The study objective is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Vibrato™ Aspiration System Aspiration System (hereafter referred to as Vibrato™ Aspiration System) for aspiration mechanical thrombectomy in the treatment of acute PE.

The Vibrato™ Aspiration System is a vibration-assisted aspiration thrombectomy device including attributes designed to improve trackability, maintain a low-profile configuration, and operate without capital equipment. In addition, the Vibrato™ Aspiration System features a novel vibrating distal tip designed to enhance thrombus removal during aspiration while minimizing vascular injury. The vibrating mechanism may reduce procedure times, improve clot removal efficiency, and decrease the need for adjunctive interventions.
