Walking recovery after serious lung blood clot
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study follows people who had a serious blood clot in their lungs that also affected their heart's right side. It tests how their ability to walk and move changes over 6 months, helping doctors understand recovery better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be diagnosed with a medium- to high-risk blood clot in your lungs (called a pulmonary embolism) that affected your heart.
- You need to be able to walk on your own (with or without oxygen during walking).
- You must not have had a previous blood clot in your lungs, chronic blood clot related lung disease, or pulmonary artery high blood pressure.
- You must be able to read and understand questionnaires in English and return for visits at 3 and 6 months.
- You must be able to give written permission to join the study.

This trial studies a structured pulmonary (lung) rehabilitation program for people who still have breathing and activity problems after a pulmonary embolism (PE). It may help improve physical ability and function during recovery.
This study looks at whether pulmonary rehabilitation (a supervised exercise and support program for lung recovery) improves quality of life after a lung blood clot. It focuses on people who have ongoing breathing-related limits after treatment with blood thinners.
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 trial looks at how people do after an acute pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs). It aims to understand real-world outcomes over follow-up and may help improve how care teams track patients after treatment.
This study looks at how well a catheter (a thin tube) works to treat a serious type of blood clot in the lungs. It is for people who have a large clot that is causing problems like fast heart rate or low blood pressure.
