Healthy living tips after a pulmonary embolism
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether healthy living tips and messages sent daily by text or email can help you recover better after a serious blood clot in your lung called a pulmonary embolism. It may be a good fit if you are already taking a blood thinner and can receive text messages.

This trial tests whether patients with a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs) can be safely treated at home instead of being hospitalized, when they have some signs of heart strain but are not severely ill. Participants will be randomly assigned to either home treatment or hospital care to compare safety and recovery.
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 trial tests three ways of using a catheter (a thin tube) to remove or break up blood clots in the lungs for people with a serious but stable type of pulmonary embolism. The goal is to find the best approach to improve recovery and reduce complications.
This trial tests a procedure to remove blood clots from the lungs using a tube (catheter) to open blocked vessels. It may help people with a sudden pulmonary embolism who are stable enough to undergo the procedure.
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.
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.
