APEX-AV trial evaluated the safety and efficacy of the AlphaVac F1885 System for treating acute intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE). The study found significant reductions in the right ventricular/left ventricular diameter ratio and pulmonary arterial pressure within 48 hours post-procedure, along with a 35.5% mean reduction in clot burden. The treatment demonstrated a low rate of major adverse events, primarily minor access site bleeding.

Drs. Sahil Parikh, Mona Ranade, William Brent Keeling, and Kenneth Rosenfield discuss the trial highlights in this video interview.
