Left atrial appendage closure to prevent stroke in AF
This study tests whether closing a heart pocket called the left atrial appendage can lower future stroke or other clot-related events in people with atrial fibrillation. It’s mainly for people who have had a prior clot-related event or are at higher risk but may not be good candidates for long-term blood thinners.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT04573660Recruiting
Registry for people using Abbott vascular devices
This is a patient registry that collects health information from adults who get Abbott vascular devices during a planned procedure. It helps Abbott and doctors understand how these devices perform in everyday care.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04711746Recruiting
Clonal blood changes after certain lung blood clots
This study looks at whether a specific kind of blood-cell change (“clonal hematopoiesis”) is linked to a lung blood clot (pulmonary embolism) that happened without a clear trigger. It compares people with unprovoked clots to people with provoked clots, after checking for inherited clotting risk factors.
AmiensAges 18–65 - NCT04902248Recruiting
Compare two procedures for hard-to-stop upper stomach bleeding
This trial studies whether a newer “OTSC” procedure works as well as a standard procedure called angiographic embolization to stop active, hard-to-control upper gastrointestinal bleeding. It may help people whose bleeding continues or comes back even after initial endoscopy treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04923984Recruiting
Procedure to stop bleeding in a brain bleed using a small plug
This trial looks at a minimally invasive procedure that may stop bleeding in the space between the brain and its outer covering (a subdural hematoma). It’s being offered to people being evaluated in Canada, and the main goals are to see if the approach is safe and practical for routine use.
Winnipeg MB, ManitobaAges 18 years+ - NCT05015153Recruiting
Rehab after blood clot in the lungs to improve daily life
This study looks at whether pulmonary rehabilitation (a supervised exercise and support program for lung recovery) improves quality of life after a lung blood clot. It focuses on people who have ongoing breathing-related limits after treatment with blood thinners.
Brest, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT05050617Recruiting
Ultrasound in the ER to predict risks in pulmonary embolism
This trial checks whether a bedside ultrasound done in the emergency room can help predict which people with an acute pulmonary embolism are more likely to have bad outcomes. If you qualify, your care team will compare ultrasound findings with your later results to see if it can guide treatment decisions sooner.
York, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05098769Recruiting
Prediction tool for risks after acute pulmonary embolism scans
This trial studies a tool that uses CT scan results and heart blood tests to predict the chance of serious outcomes after an acute pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lung). It may help doctors identify higher-risk patients sooner.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT05103670Recruiting
PET/CT lung scan to assess recovery after pulmonary embolism
This study uses a special scan (PET/CT) and an inhaled/linked tracer to measure how well air and blood flow work in different lung areas after a pulmonary embolism. It’s meant to better understand regional lung function and how rehabilitation may help some people recover.
BrestAges 18–99 - NCT05327933Recruiting
Preventing chronic bleeding from the brain’s covering after surgery
This trial looks at whether a procedure called middle meningeal artery embolization can help stop chronic subdural hematoma (slow bleeding/collection under the brain covering) from coming back after your first surgery. It studies an added endovascular treatment right after your operation to reduce recurrence.
Berlin, State of BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT05374681Recruiting
Test a minimally invasive add-on treatment for brain vessel swelling
This trial studies whether an add-on, minimally invasive procedure works better than standard care for a specific brain blood-vessel problem (CSH) that is larger than 10 mm. It may help reduce symptoms or prevent worsening, if you meet the size and location requirements.
Amiens, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT05416567Recruiting
Embolization for meningioma using blood-vessel blockage
This trial studies whether a procedure that blocks the tumor’s blood supply (embolization) can help people with a typical meningioma that is growing or causing symptoms. It may help shrink or control the tumor by cutting off its main blood supply.
TrondheimAges 18 years+ - NCT05482269Recruiting
Using CT scans to predict outcomes after lung blood clots
This trial uses an artificial intelligence (AI) system to read CT scan images of the lungs and predict outcomes after a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lung). It may help doctors identify who is at higher risk, so treatment decisions can be faster and more accurate.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT05591118RecruitingPhase 3
Catheter treatment to remove blood clots in the lungs
This Phase 3 trial tests a catheter-based procedure to remove a lung blood clot (pulmonary embolism) and reduce strain on the heart. It may help people who have specific CT scan signs of right-heart strain.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05665101Recruiting
Stent repair for abdominal aortic aneurysm with extra sac blockage
This study looks at a specific way to fix an enlarged abdominal aorta using a stent (EVAR) plus an added step to block blood flow into the aneurysm sac. It aims to lower the chance of a “type II endoleak,” where blood can keep leaking into the sac after the repair.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT05697562Recruiting
Embolization treatment for hemorrhoid bleeding
This trial studies a procedure that blocks blood flow to bleeding hemorrhoids (called superior rectal arterial embolization). It may help people with hemorrhoid bleeding who are being considered for treatment, especially when bleeding is significant.
JetteAges 18 years+ - NCT05700682Recruiting
MRI-guided artery blockage procedure for long-term joint pain
This study tests whether an MRI scan that looks at blood flow can help target a joint embolization procedure to reduce chronic shoulder, hip, or knee pain. It first uses MRI to find signs of increased blood flow, then may use the findings to guide treatment if you qualify.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 25–80 - NCT05714124Recruiting
Testing liver procedures to treat tumors when surgery isn’t possible
This trial studies different ways to place treatments inside the liver to control liver tumors when they can’t be removed with surgery or ablation. It may help certain people by improving how well the tumor is treated while keeping liver function safer.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05791786Recruiting
Registry for suspected amniotic fluid embolism patients
This study builds a long-term registry and sample library for people diagnosed with suspected amniotic fluid embolism (AFE), and for certain related hospital deaths. It helps researchers understand what AFE looks like, how it affects health over time, and how to improve future care.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT05859022Recruiting
Bariatric treatment methods compared for diabetes and metabolism
This trial compares a less invasive heart/artery-based bariatric treatment (bariatric arterial embolization) with standard weight-loss surgery to see how they affect metabolism and type 2 diabetes. You might be considered if you have obesity with type 2 diabetes and have not had prior bariatric surgery.
LisbonAges 18–75 - NCT05891886RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing supplemental oxygen for early blood clot in the lungs
This early-phase trial studies whether giving extra oxygen can help people with a recently diagnosed lung blood clot (pulmonary embolism). It mainly looks at people who have early symptoms and signs that the right side of the heart is under strain.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05917028Recruiting
Nonsurgical injections to reduce knee osteoarthritis pain
This study tests a procedure called transcatheter arterial micro-embolization (a targeted injection done through blood vessels) to lessen pain from knee osteoarthritis. It may help people who still have significant pain despite standard “non-surgical” treatments like therapy and joint injections.
