Finding unexpected blood clots in the lungs on CT scans
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks back at patients in the ICU who had a CT scan that unexpectedly found a blood clot in their lungs. The goal is to see how this discovery changed their treatment and what complications they may have had.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were in the intensive care unit (ICU) between August 2020 and August 2024.
- While in the ICU, you had a CT scan of your chest.
- The CT scan found a blood clot in your lungs (pulmonary embolism).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at people with interstitial lung disease (a lung scarring condition) who have new or worsening symptoms that might be caused by a blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). Doctors want to find better ways to predict which patients actually have a clot, which could lead to earlier and more accurate treatment.
This study looks at whether a new way of grouping patients with blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) can better predict their outcomes. If you join, your health will be tracked for 30 days to see how well this new system works.
This study compares different real-world treatments for a serious but stable type of blood clot in the lungs (called intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism). It aims to see which treatments work best in everyday patients, including those with other health conditions.
This Phase 3 trial tests a catheter-based procedure to remove a lung blood clot (pulmonary embolism) and reduce strain on the heart. It may help people who have specific CT scan signs of right-heart strain.
This study looks at how doctors decide to test for pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs) in the emergency department. It helps understand what factors lead to testing, which could improve care for future patients.
This trial tests a device called the FlowTriever to remove blood clots from the lungs in people with a pulmonary embolism that is not too severe. The goal is to see if this treatment can help improve heart function and symptoms without major surgery.
