Acostream for high-risk and intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial is testing a device (called the Acostream) to break up blood clots in the lungs for people with serious pulmonary embolism who cannot receive standard clot-busting drugs or surgery. It may be an option if you have high-risk or intermediate-risk PE and are between 18 and 85.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- Your pulmonary embolism symptoms started within the last 14 days.
- You have either high-risk PE (can't get clot-busting drugs or surgery) or intermediate-high risk PE (with strain on the right heart).
- You are not pregnant, and do not have a clot in the heart, severe heart failure, chronic high blood pressure in the lungs, severe kidney problems, or an allergy to contrast dye.

This trial tests a procedure that uses ultrasound to guide a catheter that delivers clot-dissolving medicine directly to a blood clot in the lungs. It is for people who have a pulmonary embolism that causes some heart strain but who are not in shock.
This study tests a new catheter-based device that delivers clot-dissolving medicine directly to the blood clot in the lungs for people with a moderate-risk pulmonary embolism. The goal is to improve blood flow to the lungs and relieve symptoms with a lower dose of medication than standard care.
This trial tests whether a standard procedure using a catheter to deliver clot-dissolving medicine directly into the lung artery works well for people with a serious but not immediately life-threatening blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). It aims to improve heart function and reduce long-term 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 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 treatment that uses ultrasound to guide a thin tube (catheter) to deliver clot-busting medicine directly into the blood clot in your lung. It may be an option for people whose clot is serious but not yet causing shock, and who have symptoms that started within the last two weeks.
