About this study

Official title: Acostream Use in Patients With High Risk and Intermediate-risk Acute Pulmonary Embolism (The ARTIST Study)

The registry is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of catheter-directed aspiration for patients with high-risk and intermediate-high-risk pulmonary embolism using Acostream.

Read the detailed description

The registry is a prospective, multicenter, observational study involving 130 patients across up to seven sites in China. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of catheter-directed thrombectomy using Acostream in patients with high-risk and intermediate-high-risk pulmonary embolism. The primary endpoint of the study is the efficacy and safety of pulmonary thrombus removal, assessed by reduction of ventricular strain, decrease in vascular obstruction, overall clinical improvement, and the early mortality rate from pulmonary embolism. Secondary endpoints include the total mortality rate of PE and the incidence of complications in the procedure.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change of RV/LV

    The ratio of right ventricular diameter to left ventricular diameter (RV/LV) decreased compared to baseline

    Measured: 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Surgical success rate

    Measured: Immediately after surgery

  2. Changes in pulmonary artery pressure before and after surgery

    Measured: 48 hours

  3. Changes in arterial oxygen pressure before and after surgery

    Measured: 14 days

  4. Clinical deterioration incidence

    Clinical deterioration incidence includes tracheal intubation, mechanical ventilation, arterial hypotension>1 hour or shock, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, significant deterioration of oxygenation, and emergency surgical thrombectomy)

    Measured: 48 hours

  5. All-cause mortality rate

    Measured: 1, 3, 6, 12 months

  6. Symptomatic PE recurrence rate

    Measured: 1, 3, 6, 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Acostream aspiration in people with Pulmonary Embolism (PE), run by RenJi Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Qihong Ni (15801900772, niqihong1989@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change of RV/LV (time frame: 48 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Apr 2025.
