Watch now Prof. Kucher presenting the RETHRO study (2017-2021) where EKOS ultrasound accelerated thrombolysis has been used to treat patients with intermediate and high-risk Pulmonary Embolism at LINC 2022.

Hear from Prof. Sharp while he shares case base presentation including clinical evidence to date for Pulmonary Embolism treatment using EKOS at LINC 2022.

Hear from Prof. Nils Kucher share Zurich Pulmonary Embolism patient pathway for Intermediate-High Risk and High Risk patients, with a case base discussion. And some data showing the effect of ultrasound in-vitro.

Boston Scientific hosted a symposium dedicated to Pulmonary Embolism during the EXPERT-PE Conference in Leiden on Saturday, October 15th. Our session on "EKOS Endovascular System: the most studied interventional PE device, what questions remain unanswered" was moderated by Prof. Erik Klok and other expert leaders such as Prof. Konstantinides and Prof. Sharp were highly involved in the discussion sharing their best practices around the treatment of PE.

Boston Scientific is committed to helping practitioners to learn more about Pulmonary Embolism: how to diagnose it, how to treat it, and when it’s right to intervene.

Hear the expert Pr. Andrew Sharp discussing on the effectiveness of EKOS to reverse RV dysfunction and hemodynamic instability, and its association with low risk of bleeding and mortality in Intermediate to high-risk Pulmonary Embolism patients.

KNOCOUT PE registry represents the single largest prospective data set in interventional PE treatment to-date, adding evidence to the already most studied device in the PE space. The registry included a wide range of patients with intermediate-high and high-risk PE, showing that contemporary clinical practices are moving to low-dose, shorter duration OPTALYSE protocols and with it comes the benefit of both sustained efficacy and an improved safety profile.

We are pleased to see the official start to the HI-PEITHO trial with the first patient enrollment. HI-PEITHO is the largest, most rigorous trial in the PE space intended to address critical gaps in PE clinical evidence. This trial reflects Boston Scientific’s investment and commitment to providing the highest level of scientific evidence to ultimately help guide clinical practice.

Introducing the Hi-PEITHO randomised controlled trial for the EKOS™ Endovascular System. The study is the first to compare interventional therapy in combination with anticoagulation to anticoagulation alone for the treatment of pulmonary embolism.
