Early Catheter-directed Treatment of High Risk Pulmonary Embolism

Prospective, multicenter, open label, randomized controlled clinical trial to compare the effects of an early catheter-directed treatment plus conventional care with conventional care in patients with high-risk pulmonary embolism

Post-registration Trial of the Non-immunogenic Staphylokinase in Massive Pulmonary Embolism

The aim of FORPE Registry is to study the safety and efficacy of the non-immunogenic staphylokinase in patients with massive pulmonary embolism in routine clinical practice.

Cohort Study on Treatment Comes of Catheter-based Therapy in Patients With Acute Pulmonary Embolism in Hong Kong

This retrospective cohort study (Hong Kong PECT Registry) compares treatment outcomes between different percutaneous catheter-based therapies in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). PE is a critical condition with potential for rapid deterioration and mortality before treatment. While availability of catheter-based therapy contributed to the declining mortality rates of PE, selecting the appropriate intervention remains key. There are primarily two modes of therapies available: Catheter-directed thrombolysis and Aspiration thrombectomy (e.g., Penumbra, Flowtriever, AlphaVac) Given limited direct comparisons between these methods, the study will evaluate their efficacy, safety, and clinical outcomes of these treatment strategies in acute PE patients.

Registry of Catheter Intervention in Pulmonary Embolism

Multicenter longitudinal observational ambispective (retrospective cases from 2014 and prospective from 2018 onwards) cohort study. The registry recruits a series of consecutive patients admitted for moderate-high risk or high-risk pulmonary embolism (according to 2019 European Society of Cardiology guidelines) treated invasively. This study aims to describe the acute management of the safety and effectiveness of different percutaneous interventions for acute pulmonary embolism.
