Joe's Story - Pulmonary Embolism & FlowTriever | Infirmary Health, Alabama Gulf Coast

Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third leading cause of cardiovascular death after heart attack and stroke. To treat Joe's PE, Dr. Mina Jacob with Infirmary Health's Heart & Vascular Institute, utilized the FlowTriever® system from Inari Medical, an important new option for the treatment for venous thromboembolism.

The FlowTriever® and ClotTriever® aids a specialist in effectively removing clots within one minimally invasive procedure. Patients who are eligible for this procedure experience immediate symptom relief, reduced stay in an intensive care unit and an elimination of the need for thrombolytic, clot-busting, drugs.
