Dexamethasone after clot removal to calm leg swelling
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests whether a steroid medicine called dexamethasone can reduce inflammation after a clot (DVT) is removed in the thigh/behind-knee veins. If it works, it may help improve recovery and reduce ongoing leg problems after the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can sign informed consent and understand what the study involves.
- You’re able and willing to come to follow-up visits and complete study questionnaires.
- Your DVT symptoms started within the last 14 days, in the study leg thigh/behind-knee veins.
- After the procedure, you will take blood thinners for at least 12 months (with a specific heparin plan) and may need an antiplatelet medicine too.
- The clot-removal procedure must successfully reopen the vein (at least less than 30% blockage left from the clot).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares a clot-removal device (ClotTriever) plus standard care versus standard blood thinners alone for a deep vein clot in the leg. It aims to see which approach better improves leg symptoms and outcomes.
This trial studies a procedure to remove an acute deep vein blood clot in the leg. It may help restore blood flow faster than standard treatment for certain clot locations.
This study tests sulodexide (a blood-vessel protective medicine) to help stop deep leg blood clots or lung clots from returning after you’ve already been treated. It may help people with higher bleeding risk who are taking or recently finished standard anticoagulant medicines.
This study compares two ways to treat a recent blood clot in the large veins of the leg. One approach uses standard blood thinners, and the other uses a procedure to suction the clot out plus blood thinners. The goal is to see which method better restores blood flow and reduces long-term leg damage.
This trial tests a procedure to remove blood clots from deep veins in the leg and pelvis. It aims to improve blood flow and reduce long-term leg damage. If you have a recent clot in these veins, you may be eligible.
This trial tests whether combining a clot-busting procedure (pharmaco-mechanical thrombolysis) with standard blood thinners works better than blood thinners alone for people with severe, recently formed deep vein clots in the upper leg.
