Physician Feedback

What are Doctors telling us about our novel catheter technology?

Intensivists/ Critical Care Physicians

• Speed to treat is the key. We would not have to wait for on-call staff to come in and treat these patients in the middle of the night.

• We currently need to perform frequent testing on these patients. Knowing in real-time when to complete therapy would be very helpful.

Interventional Radiologists

• Pressure Monitoring capability is interesting and could help us avoid complications related to the use of lytic drugs.

Interventional Cardiologists

• Bilateral treatment would be an advantage. We treat both lungs every time we treat the pulmonary arteries with Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis.

Vascular Surgeons

• Minimizing drug would be a compelling advantage.

• There is an advantage to treating these patients quickly. It would be interesting to study the time to treat and how that impacts patient safety.
