Penumbra reported positive data for a trial of its treatment for pulmonary embolism.

The use of computer-assisted vacuum thrombectomy resulted in improvements in thrombus burden reduction, heart rate, oxygen requirement and functional outcomes in patients with the blood-clot disorder, Penumbra said.

A significantly higher share of patients treated with CAVT returned to normalization within 48 hours compared to those who weren't treated with it, the Alameda, Calif., company said Monday. They had lower heart rates and were able to walk longer distances following treatment.

The results show CAVT can rapidly and safely improve patient outcomes, Chief Medical Officer James Benenati said. He said the treatment should be considered as a therapeutic option for patients with acute intermediate to high risk pulmonary embolism.
