Clot-busting device versus blood thinners for leg clot
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a second-line endovascular procedure (a catheter-based treatment inside the vein) for people with acute deep vein thrombosis (a blood clot in the deep veins of the leg). It may help if the first blood thinner treatment isn't enough or can't be used.
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 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 tests how well the Symphony or Prodigy system works for removing blood clots from arteries or veins. You may qualify if you are 18 or older and scheduled for a procedure that uses one of these devices.
This trial compares different mechanical devices used to remove recent blood clots from the deep veins in your leg (iliac and femoral veins). The goal is to restore blood flow and prevent long-term complications like chronic pain and swelling.
This study tests a device that removes blood clots from the deep veins of your leg. It's designed to help people with recent or slightly older clots in the thigh or pelvic area, aiming to reduce symptoms and prevent complications.
