We are proud to share the ECU Health Medical Center Heart & Vascular team has reached a major milestone with more than 100 thrombectomies performed. Pulmonary embolism is the third leading cause of cardiovascular death in the United States. Through advanced technologies and new treatment options, we're grateful for the progress made in the treatment of pulmonary embolism for patients in eastern North Carolina. "We're very proud of our team – they’ve done an excellent job. We've had great support from Inari, which is the primary thrombectomy device we use and we're happy with our results," said Dr. Umer Tariq, Interventional Cardiologist.
