STUDY OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was the evaluation of the efficacy and safety of mechanical fragmentation of acute massive pulmonary emboli with a rotatable pigtail catheter. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ten patients (4 female, 6 male, age 53.8+/-9.5 years) with acute massive pulmonary embolism with hemodynamic impairment were included in the study. The fragmentation catheter device (William Cook Europe A/S; Bjaerverskov, Denmark) consisted of a 5F catheter embedded in a flexible 5.5F…

Massive pulmonary embolism: percutaneous emergency treatment by pigtail rotation catheter.
Hybrid treatment of acute massive pulmonary thromboembolism: mechanical fragmentation with a modified rotating pigtail catheter, local fibrinolytic therapy, and clot aspiration followed by systemic fibrinolytic therapy.
OBJECTIVE We sought to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a hybrid treatment for acute massive pulmonary thromboembolism in patients with hemodynamic impairment by combining mechanical…
Recanalization of thrombosed dialysis access with use of a rotating mini-pigtail catheter: follow-up study.
Evaluation of a Newly Developed Percutaneous Thrombectomy Basket Device in Sheep With Central Pulmonary Embolisms
TLDR
Extraction of pulmonary embolism with the self-expandable nitinol basket mounted at a catheter-tip is feasible, however, successful recanalization is limited by catheter maneuverability in the pulmonary arterial system.
Massive Pulmonary Embolism: Treatment with the Rotarex Thrombectomy System
TLDR
The preliminary experience in this series suggests that the Straub Rotarex thrombectomy device, which has been utilized in peripheral arteries, also is useful for the treatment of acute massive PE.
Treatment of massive pulmonary embolism by percutaneous fragmentation of the thrombus.
TLDR
The improvement in Sat O2, WI, PAP, SBP and RVF in 90% of the cases demonstrates the efficacy of the procedure, indicating that it is an alternative treatment for massive PE in patients with contraindications for the administration of systemic thrombolytics.
Catheter-directed embolectomy, fragmentation, and thrombolysis for the treatment of massive pulmonary embolism after failure of systemic thrombolysis.
TLDR
In the setting of hemodynamic shock from massive PE, CDI is potentially a life-saving treatment for patients who have not responded to or cannot tolerate systemic thrombolysis.
Catheter fragmentation of acute massive pulmonary thromboembolism: distal embolisation and pulmonary arterial pressure elevation.
TLDR
Thrombolysis and thrombus aspiration can provide partial recanalization and haemodynamic stabilization, and a rise in pulmonary arterial pressure can occur during mechanical fragmentation using a rotating pigtail catheter for the treatment of life-threatening acute massive pulmonary thromboembolism.

TLDR
ROBOT therapy results in a significant, rapid improvement in the hemodynamic situation and in a better outcome than conventional therapy in patients with acute massive pulmonary embolism.
AngioJet® rheolytic thrombectomy: a new treatment option in cases of massive pulmonary embolism
TLDR
A systematic review of the literature for articles dealing with the use of the AngioJet device in the setting of massive/submassive PE found nine studies including 76 patients presenting exclusively with massive PE and five studies including 121 patients presenting with massive or submassive PE.
