New research presented at TCT 2026 found similar short-term outcomes in women and men with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) after aspiration thrombectomy, a catheter-based procedure to remove blood clots from arteries in the lungs, despite higher pretreatment risk among women. The results were simultaneously published in JSCAI.
