The FlowTriever System (Inari Medical, Irvine, California) is the first FDA-approved mechanical thrombectomy device used for treatment of pulmonary embolism. This device enables nonsurgical removal of pulmonary blood clots without the use of thrombolytic medication and its associated risks. We report 2 cases of successful application of the Inari FlowTriever in treatment of pulmonary embolism and right atrial thrombus.
