Inari VISION Registry
This study, called the Inari VISION Registry, is looking at how well Inari Medical devices work for people who have had a pulmonary embolism, which is a blood clot in the lung. It's an observational study, meaning researchers will collect information from patients who have already been treated with one of these special devices. They want to see how patients recover after their treatment and track the safety and effectiveness of the devices in everyday medical practice. This is not a study where you get a new treatment; it's about checking up on treatments already in use. It's open to adults aged 18 and over who have been treated with an Inari Medical device and are willing to share their health information for the study.
At a glance
What is this study about?
Imagine you or someone you know has had a blood clot block an artery in the lung – this is called a pulmonary embolism. Doctors might use special devices made by a company called Inari Medical to help remove or treat these clots. This particular study, the Inari VISION Registry, isn't testing a new device. Instead, it's like a watchful eye, gathering information on how these already-approved Inari Medical devices perform in a lot of different hospitals and clinics around the world.
The main goal is to understand how people who have been treated with these devices recover over time. Researchers want to collect information about the patients treated, how the procedure went, and how safe and effective the devices are in real-world situations, rather than in a highly controlled experiment. This helps doctors and the company ensure these treatments continue to serve patients well and improve healthcare.
By collecting this information from many patients, doctors can learn more about the long-term effects of the treatment and identify any patterns or areas where improvements could be made. It's a way of continuously learning from patient experiences to make sure that people with pulmonary embolism get the best possible care.
