Clot-busting treatment plus blood thinners for severe leg clots
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a blood clot in the iliac or common femoral vein (in your upper thigh or groin).
- Your clot is recent: found on imaging within the last 14 days, or symptoms started within the last 21 days.
- You have at least one severe symptom: severe leg pain (score 5 or more on a 0-10 pain scale), leg pain when walking, or your thigh is at least 5% larger than your healthy leg.
- You are 18 or older, not pregnant, and not under legal guardianship.
- Your kidneys work well enough (creatinine clearance above 30 mL/min).

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.
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.
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 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 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.
