Check whether a clot-risk score predicts recovery after vein surgery
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a clot-risk score (Caprini score) relates to blood clot checks and outcomes after varicose vein surgery. You may be asked to have an ultrasound scan a few weeks after your operation and be followed for about 4 weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Have surgery for varicose veins (any type)
- Have follow-up visits for about 4 weeks after the procedure
- Return for a blood-clot (VTE) check 2–4 weeks after surgery
- Have an ultrasound test (duplex ultrasound) at the 2–4 week check

This trial tests whether giving medicine to prevent blood clots during varicose vein treatment is safe and helpful. It focuses on people having a minimally invasive procedure on enlarged leg veins under local anesthesia.
This study tests whether specialized nursing guidance helps patients recover better after surgery for varicose veins (enlarged veins in the legs). The nursing support focuses on helping you manage your own care at home after surgery.
This trial tests whether foam sclerotherapy or a small-surgery treatment (ambulatory phlebectomy) works better for symptoms from leaking varicose veins. It may help by improving which option is most effective and comfortable for people like you.
This study tests whether a simple score (Modified Caprini) and a blood test (D-dimer) can help predict and prevent blood clots in the legs after heart or lung surgery. If you are having cardiothoracic surgery and will be in the hospital for a few days, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how well a simple scoring system (Padua score) predicts blood clots after chest surgery. It may help find patients who need extra protection.
This study looks at why some people develop blood clots after lung cancer surgery. By tracking your recovery for 30 days, researchers hope to find better ways to predict and prevent clots in the future.
