Prevention of blood clots during varicose vein treatment
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (over 18).
- You are scheduled for an endovenous procedure for trunk varicose veins using local anesthesia.
- Your planned treatment method includes one of these: radiofrequency, laser, mechanochemical, foam sclerotherapy, or cyanoacrylate (glue).
- You do not need full-dose blood thinners for another reason (like atrial fibrillation).
- You have no personal or close-family history of blood clots in the legs/lungs (VTE) and you don’t have known clotting disorders (thrombophilia).
- You don’t have bleeding problems or unsafe recent events (like recent major surgery/trauma or recent stroke), and you can consent.

This trial tests whether a medication called apixaban (a blood thinner) can safely prevent blood clots after abdominal or pelvic surgery. It is for people who have a moderate risk of clots and bleeding, and who are not taking other blood thinners.
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 tests whether continuing a lower dose of blood thinners can prevent another blood clot in cancer patients who have had a clot in an arm or chest catheter. It may help find a safer way to prevent future clots.
This study looks at a prevention plan to reduce the risk of hospital-acquired blood clots. It may help people who are expected to stay in the hospital for several days but do not already have a clot.
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 whether taking blood thinners (antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs) affects bleeding and vein closure after a minimally invasive procedure for varicose veins. It may help doctors understand if it's safe to continue these medications during treatment.
