Comparing two blood clot removal methods for leg clots
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of doing a mechanical blood clot removal procedure for people with a new deep vein thrombosis (a blood clot in a deep vein, often in the leg). The goal is to see which method works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 85 years old.
- You must have a deep vein clot that started within the last 14 days.
- You are being treated with a mechanical device to break up and remove the clot.
- You must not be allergic to heparin, low molecular weight heparin, or contrast dye.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must not have any other serious condition that would make it hard to complete the study or limit your life to less than 6 months.

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 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 a treatment approach for acute blood clots in the deep veins of the upper leg and groin. It aims to see if using a device to clear the clot after standard treatment improves recovery.
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 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.
This trial tests how safe and effective a clot-removal procedure done through the blood vessels is for people with acute or subacute blocked blood flow in the lower leg. It may help by improving circulation while carefully tracking risks and results.
