PEERLESS Study
The primary endpoint is a composite clinical endpoint constructed as a win ratio, a hierarchy of the following, assessed at hospital discharge or at 7 days after the index procedure, whichever is sooner: 1. All-cause mortality, or 2. Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), or 3. Major bleeding per ISTH definition4, or 4. Clinical deterioration defined by hemodynamic or respiratory worsening, and/or escalation to a bailout therapy, or 5. ICU admission and ICU length-of-stay during the index hospitalization and following the index procedure.

This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial of the FlowTriever System compared to CDT for acute intermediate-high-risk PE, and includes a non-randomized cohort for subjects with an absolute contraindication to thrombolytics. The study will collect data on demographics, comorbidities, details from the PE diagnosis and treatment, and clinical outcomes through 30-day follow up.
