Valuing Life More
Bonita Bell was experiencing chest pain and was rushed to the ER at GW Hospital where she collapsed and needed CPR. A CT scan confirmed she had a pulmonary embolism, or large blood clot in her lungs, and had only a three percent chance of survival.
She was placed on an ECMO machine, which keeps the heart and lungs alive when they can’t function on their own. Doctors then used the Inari FlowTriever® System to remove the blood clot to improve her heart function. Today, Bonita is back to being independent and living a full life. “Without the care I received at GW Hospital, I wouldn’t be here today.”
