Josef Kroupa: Landmark PRAGUE-26 Trial Advances Interventional PE Treatment
Josef Kroupa, Interventional Cardiologist, Healthcare Consultant, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, adding:
“Czech cardiology at the forefront.
Today, at the Congress of the European Society of Cardiology, we presented to the international cardiovascular community the results of the largest randomized trial to date investigating interventional treatment of acute pulmonary embolism (PRAGUE-26).
At the same time, its results are being published in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) — marking the first original Czech study in history to be published in the journal.
Behind this study are years of hard work, an extraordinary team effort, and above all, a shared ambition to change the way this serious disease is treated worldwide.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey.
And yes — we did it!”
