Summary

SONIC-PE is a multicenter, prospective, single-arm study of 10 patients with bilateral PE treated with ultrasound-facilitated, catheter-directed lower-dose fibrinolysis (total dose 8 mg tPA given as 2 mg/hour/catheter over 2 hours) followed by 50 patients (total dose 6 mg tPA given as 3 mg/hour/catheter given over 1 hour) with the EKOS+™ system to determine its impact on the change in RV-to-LV diameter, refined Modified Miller Score, and distal pulmonary vascular blood volume as well as to assess International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) major bleeding.
