Amelia – Pulmonary Embolism Survivor

Amelia was recovering from minor knee surgery when she began experiencing breathing difficulties. She was swiftly transferred from the ER to the cath lab, where Dr. Sameh Sayfo used computer assisted vacuum thrombectomy (CAVT) to address a blood clot in her lungs. Thanks to the intervention, Amelia recovered quickly and was discharged the next day.
