Genetic study in people with past lung blood clots after knee or hip surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at genetic (inherited DNA) markers in people who have had a lung blood clot (pulmonary embolism) after having a hip or knee replacement. The goal is to understand why blood clots may happen again and help improve future risk prediction and care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have had a pulmonary embolism in the past (a blood clot in the lungs).
- You have also had a total hip replacement or total knee replacement.
- You will likely be asked for blood or saliva to check genetic markers (DNA).
- You must meet the study’s specific “history” timing details confirmed during screening.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This trial looks at how people do after an acute pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs). It aims to understand real-world outcomes over follow-up and may help improve how care teams track patients after treatment.
This trial compares a personalized approach to preventing blood clots after hip or knee replacement surgery with the standard one-size-fits-all method. The goal is to see if tailoring prevention to each patient works better and is safer.
This study looks at how pressure measurements in the lung's main blood vessel can help doctors quickly identify patients with blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). Researchers will review past medical records and test results to see if this measurement is a useful tool for diagnosis.
This study looks at how doctors decide to test for pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs) in the emergency department. It helps understand what factors lead to testing, which could improve care for future patients.
This study looks at blood “clotting-lean vs clot-dissolving” balance measured in tiny blood particles to predict clot problems after knee replacement. It may help doctors better identify who is at higher risk for blood clots after surgery.
