Recognition, context, and distinction
What does it do, and where will I see it?
Use & procedural context
Large-bore mechanical aspiration and retrieval system for removing central thrombus, especially PE, without thrombolytics. Typical procedural contexts include pulmonary embolism, iliocaval thrombosis, and large venous thrombus.
What most clearly distinguishes it from similar devices?
Key distinctions
FlowTriever® is designed around large-bore aspiration with dedicated mechanical retrieval components for central thrombus, distinguishing it from smaller peripheral aspiration systems or lytic catheters.
