RIA Interventional Radiologists first in CO to offer Inari procedures

RIA Interventional Radiologists were the first physicians in Denver and Northern Colorado to offer the Inari Medical FlowTriever and ClotTriever procedures for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE).

RIA Endovascular physicians work with Inari Medical to bring these state of the art procedures to our patients. Historically, arterial devices to remove clots have required the patient to receive blood thinners. The FlowTriever an ClotTriever were designed as a tool to remove clot while not requiring patients to receive these blood thinners. This puts the patient at less risk of bleeding, while still accomplishing the task of removing blood clots.

The benefits of these technologies are:

  • No capital equipment is needed
  • No procedure related ICU stay is required
  • Elimination of thrombolytics (blood thinners) and associated bleed risks
  • Single Session treatment option

The ClotTriever Thrombectomy System is indicated for: The non-surgical removal of soft thrombi and emboli from blood vessels. Injection, infusion, and/or aspiration of contrast media and other fluids into or from a blood vessel.

The FlowTriever Retrieval/Aspiration System is indicated for: The non-surgical removal of emboli and thrombi from blood vessels. Injection, infusion, and/or aspiration of contrast media and other fluids into or from a blood vessel. The FlowTriever Retrieval/Aspiration System is intended for use in the peripheral vasculature and for the treatment of pulmonary embolism.
