EKOS™ Endovascular System

OPTALYSE study

OPTALYSE long-term data

Sustained RV remodeling & improved patient outcomes

In the OPTALYSE study which evaluated the optimal dose/duration of EKOS treatment, patients were followed for one year. In addition to showing quick improvement in RV function, the long-term data showed sustained RV remodeling out to one-year. OPTALYSE was also the first study of an interventional pulmonary embolism (PE) treatment to show improvement in patient quality of life outcomes.1
