New device for treating acute pulmonary embolism
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new system to remove blood clots from the lungs in people with acute pulmonary embolism (a sudden blockage in a lung artery). It may help those who are stable enough for a catheter-based procedure but still have significant strain on the heart.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old
- You have had symptoms of a pulmonary embolism (like sudden shortness of breath or chest pain) for less than 2 weeks
- A CT scan shows a clot in the main or branch lung arteries and that your right heart is enlarged
- Your blood pressure is stable (above 90 mmHg) without needing strong medicines
- Your heart rate is under 130 beats per minute before the procedure

This trial tests a new device (the Akura Thrombectomy System) that removes blood clots from the lungs in people with a sudden, severe pulmonary embolism. It aims to see if the device is safe and effective at improving blood flow and heart function.
This trial tests a new device that removes blood clots from the lungs through a small tube. It is for people with a recent pulmonary embolism who have slightly strained hearts but stable blood pressure.
This trial tests whether a standard procedure using a catheter to deliver clot-dissolving medicine directly into the lung artery works well for people with a serious but not immediately life-threatening blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). It aims to improve heart function and reduce long-term complications.
This study looks at how well a catheter (a thin tube) works to treat a serious type of blood clot in the lungs. It is for people who have a large clot that is causing problems like fast heart rate or low blood pressure.
This trial tests the Vibrato Aspiration System, a device that suctions blood clots from the lungs in people with a recent pulmonary embolism (PE). It aims to see if the procedure is safe and works well for removing clots.
This study tests a device that suctions blood clots from the lungs in people with a moderate-risk pulmonary embolism. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at removing clots and improving blood flow.
