High blood pressure in lungs after a severe blood clot
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study monitors people who had a severe lung blood clot to see if they develop high blood pressure in the lungs over time. It aims to catch the condition early, so treatment can start sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with a sudden blood clot in your lungs (acute pulmonary embolism).
- Your age should be between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your clot must have been considered severe or high-risk (PESI class III, IV, or V, or sPESI score of 1 or higher).
- You cannot have severe kidney disease (eGFR less than 30).
- You cannot have serious liver problems.
- You must be able to take blood-thinning medications (no medical reason to avoid them).

This study tests if a small sensor placed in your lung artery during surgery can safely help doctors watch for remaining high blood pressure after the operation. It may help catch problems earlier, but it is a small exploratory study for people at higher risk of having this issue.
This study looks at patterns from specialized lung scan tests to help diagnose chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (a long-term problem with blood flow in the lungs after blood clots). If your results suggest this condition and you need a procedure to check heart pressure, you may be asked to join so the researchers can improve diagnosis.
This study builds a database of people with pulmonary arterial hypertension or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. It may help doctors better understand these conditions in the Polish population and improve future care decisions.
This study compares balloon pulmonary angioplasty versus pulmonary endarterectomy for people with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs due to long-lasting blood clots). It may help find which procedure works better for improving symptoms and lung circulation after treatment.
This trial tests whether a procedure called balloon pulmonary angioplasty is safe and effective for people with chronic thromboembolic disease in the lungs, especially when surgery isn’t an option. If you have CTEPH, it may help improve lung blood flow and symptoms.
This study looks at whether a heart ultrasound measurement called pulmonary artery pressure can help doctors predict if a patient with shortness of breath has a blood clot in the lungs. It compares current pressure readings with past readings to see if changes might signal a clot.
