Catheter treatment for leg blood clots after initial therapy
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You have a blood clot (DVT) in the large vein behind your knee or in your upper leg
- You can take blood-thinning medication safely
- Your symptoms started less than 14 days ago
- You do not have a high risk of serious bleeding (such as due to cancer, recent surgery, or previous stroke)
- You are not critically ill or have a very swollen and painful leg that suggests a blocked blood supply

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 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 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 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 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.
