    This was a very good discussion for giving us an insight into the state of the technology and how to set up a successful program o intervention. On a personal level, I have been fan of gaining expertise in these procedures in order to be able to treat the sickest patients.
    However it is important for pioneering programs such as these to collect the evidence of benefit of intervention for patients with lesser clot burden, as in their enthusiasm tech companies and procedurists can lose site of identifying the patients where the benefit is significantly greater than the risk.
