Checking for blood clots in people with recent clot symptoms
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a way to detect circulating blood clots in people who have a current or recent blood clot in the veins or arteries, or an acute stroke. It may help doctors find clots more quickly by improving how clots are detected in the bloodstream.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You currently have, or recently had, a blood clot in the body (vein or artery) or an acute ischemic stroke
- You can read and sign the study consent form
- You are not pregnant and not breastfeeding
- You do not have certain serious situations like severe infection (sepsis), major chest clot needing a ventilator, or conditions that require urgent clot removal surgery right now

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new type of CT scan (photon-counting CT) to see if it's better at finding small blood clots in the lungs. If you have symptoms like sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, or fainting and doctors suspect a blood clot, this trial may help confirm the diagnosis with clearer images.
This study looks at how certain blood cell changes and immune system activity may relate to blood clots in specific veins or lungs. It may help researchers understand why clots happen “without a clear cause” and how to better predict risk.
This trial tests a new aspiration catheter (a thin tube that sucks out blood clots) used during an emergency procedure to restore blood flow in the brain after a stroke. It's designed for patients treated within 24 hours of stroke symptoms.
This trial tests a new computer tool that helps doctors decide whether you likely have a blood clot in your leg or lung. If you have symptoms and are not already on blood thinners, you may be able to join.
This study uses a special CT scan to see how well blood flows in the brain after a stroke patient has had a procedure to remove a clot. The goal is to learn more about recovery and improve future care.
This trial tests a new lab device that measures how well your body forms primary blood clots while blood is kept in flowing conditions. It may help doctors better assess bleeding or clotting tendencies and guide future care.
