Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if the EKOS EkoSonic® Endovascular Device when used in conjunction with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) as a treatment for acute PE will decrease the ratio of right ventricle (RV) to left ventricle (LV) diameter within 48 =/- 6 hours in participants with massive or submassive PE.

Primary Outcome

Change from baseline in RV diameter/LV diameter ratio was determined by contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) within 48 +/- 6 hours after initiating ultrasound-accelerated catheter-directed fibrinolysis.

Interventions

  • DRUG recombinant tissue plasminogen activator
  • DEVICE EKOS EkoSonic Endovascular System
