A device known as the BASHIR™ Endovascular Catheter (THROMBOLEX, Inc.) significantly reduces the size of blood clots lodged in the pulmonary arteries, leading to improvement in heart function in patients with pulmonary embolism, researchers from the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University announced in a Late-Breaking Innovation session at the 2022 Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) conference in Boston.

A distinction at the pinnacle of industry standards has been awarded to the Albert J. Finestone, MD Office for Continuing Medical Education at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine: Accreditation with Commendation.
