[{"type":"text","content":"\nRepresents Largest Catheter Based Thromboaspiration Study Completed to Date\n\n LATHAM, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nAngioDynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANGO), a leading provider of innovative, minimally invasive medical devices for vascular access, peripheral vascular disease, and oncology, announced the safety and efficacy results from the Registry of AngioVac* System Procedures In Detail (RAPID) database. Results were shared by principal investigator John Moriarty, MD, FSIR, FSVM (Associate Professor of Radiology and Medicine, Cardiology—UCLA Interventional Radiology, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA), at the Vascular Interventional Advances (VIVA) 2020 meeting.\n\nThe registry was designed to evaluate the patterns of use, safety and efficacy of the AngioVac System in the bulk removal of undesirable intravascular material. The registry enrolled 234 patients across 21 sites, surpassing its 200-patient enrollment goal. Among enrolled patients, 48.3% had a mass in the right heart, 35.9% had caval thromboemboli, 8.5 % had catheter related thrombi, 1.7% had a pulmonary embolism** and 5.6% had a combination of the above.\n\n“RAPID represents the largest catheter based thromboaspiration study completed to date, and we are pleased to share its positive findings,” said Scott Centea, AngioDynamics Sr. Vice President and General Manager, VIT/PAD. “A growing number of providers are recognizing the AngioVac System as a critically important tool in the treatment and removal of thrombi and emboli. The overwhelmingly positive results from the RAPID Registry demonstrate that the AngioVac System is appropriate for use by a wide range of providers treating thrombus, clot and vegetations in both peripheral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and the right heart.”\n\nFindings from the RAPID Registry have been accepted for publication in the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology1.\n\nThe primary objective of the registry was to capture data on the use of the AngioVac System for various anatomic locations. Greater than 70% of clot/mass removal was achieved in a majority of the patient population. Overall, the study confirmed the AngioVac System to be versatile, safe and effective for the removal of vascular thrombi and cardiac masses across a broad range of patient populations.\n\n“Our goal threshold was to remove over 70% of the clot, which we fel...
