Ultrasound and balloon treatment for old leg clots
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to treat long-standing blood clots in the leg using ultrasound waves and a balloon procedure. It aims to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like swelling and pain for people who haven't gotten better with standard treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares a procedure that removes blood clots from deep veins in the leg (aspiration) combined with blood thinners versus blood thinners alone. The goal is to see if removing the clot helps prevent long-term leg swelling and complications.
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 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 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 study looks at how the size and location of a first-time leg blood clot affects the risk of long-term problems like chronic pain or swelling. You may join if you have a new, symptomatic clot in one leg and haven't had one before.
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.
