Peripheral Vascular Disease Embolism and Thrombosis Venous Thrombosis |
The PEARL II Registry is a prospective, multi-center, observational registry including 500 patients who meet eligibility from up to 50 sites worldwide. Patient participation will be 12 months including post procedure follow-up contact at 3, 6 and 12 months. The study duration is estimated at 36 months.
A patient's treatment is determined by the treating physician based on the clinical situation and local practices. In contrast to a randomized, controlled trial, there are no pre-defined experimental interventions.

- Change in Degree of Occlusion From Baseline to Final Angiogram/Venogram. [ Time Frame: Day 1 ]
From the Index Procedure's Baseline (pre-endovascular treatment) and Final (post-endovascular treatment) angiograms/venograms, each vessel was assigned a value by the treating physician.
- complete occlusion (>90% occlusion);
- substantial occlusion (50-90% occlusion OR <50% occlusion and >3cm in length);
- partial occlusion (<50% occlusion AND <3cm in length)
- patent (without visable thrombus or occlusion) The levels of change (improvement) were calculated by subtracting the baseline assigned angiographic/venographic value from the final value.
- Rethrombosis [ Time Frame: 3 Month , 6 Month and 12 Month Follow Up ]The number of patients affected by rethrombosis of the treated vessels (first episode) throughout a 12 Month Follow-Up.
- Concomitant Treatments Used With the AngioJet® System [ Time Frame: Day 1 ]The # of patients exposed to each treatment option at least once in the given thrombotic condition during the Index Procedure
