Ultrasound and balloon treatment for old leg clots
Part of Blood & lymphatic 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.
Who can take part
- You have a blood clot in a major leg or pelvis vein that was found at least 6 months ago.
- You still have symptoms like swelling or pain despite taking blood thinners and wearing compression stockings for at least 3 months.
- Your leg symptoms are moderate to severe (at least an 8 on a special symptom scale).
- You are being treated at San Raffaele Hospital in Milan, Italy.
- You are willing and able to give your written permission to be in the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two ways to treat a recent blood clot in the large veins of the leg. One approach uses standard blood thinners, and the other uses a procedure to suction the clot out plus blood thinners. The goal is to see which method better restores blood flow and reduces long-term leg damage.
This trial tests whether combining a clot-busting procedure (pharmaco-mechanical thrombolysis) with standard blood thinners works better than blood thinners alone for people with severe, recently formed deep vein clots in the upper leg.
This study tests a second, catheter-based treatment to break up or remove a blood clot in the leg (deep vein thrombosis) in people who have already had their clot treated. It aims to improve blood flow and reduce long-term leg problems.
This trial tests a procedure to remove blood clots from deep veins in the leg and pelvis. It aims to improve blood flow and reduce long-term leg damage. If you have a recent clot in these veins, you may be eligible.
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.
