Abdulrahman Katib on STORM-PE Results In Favour of Thrombectomy in PE
Abdulrahman Katib, Internal Medicine and Adult Thrombosis Consultant at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, shared on LinkedIn:
”Despite the modest sample size, STORM-PE is the first RCT showing that mechanical thrombectomy (using a computer-assisted vacuum system) combined with anticoagulation showed superior physiologic outcomes compared with anticoagulation alone in intermediate-high-risk PE.
The primary endpoint was the change in RV/LV ratio at 48 hours.
Which was segnificantly reduced in the mechanical thrombectomy (CAVT) plus anticoagulation arm.
