Blood clotting study in new central line catheters
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how blood clotting is activated in new central venous catheters (large IVs placed in a chest vein). It may help doctors understand and reduce clotting risks. You can join if you need a new catheter and are not on strong blood thinners.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a new central venous catheter that is 150-160 mm long with two channels
- You are 18 years or older
- You are not currently taking strong blood thinners (some low-dose blood thinners or aspirin are allowed)
- Your blood clotting tests are in the normal range, and you do not have a known bleeding disorder
- You can sign a consent form agreeing to take part

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new way to place a central line (a tube in a large vein) using ultrasound and a special ECG technique to improve accuracy. It may help people in intensive care who need this procedure.
This study uses special CT scans (photon-counting CT) to look for blood clots related to central lines, both in patients who have passed away and in living patients. It aims to better understand and detect these clots.
This trial tests whether starting enoxaparin (a blood-thinner) within 24 hours after placing a specific type of central line can prevent dangerous clots. It may help reduce clot risk in people whose line is placed in the neck or thigh vein, while also tracking bleeding side effects.
This research study looks at how often blood clots form around long-term catheters (thin tubes placed in veins) in hospitalized patients. The study uses ultrasound to check for clots and may help doctors understand and prevent this complication.
This study looks at how often people with a blood infection from a PICC or midline catheter also get a blood clot in the vein of their arm. The goal is to learn more about this problem so doctors can better prevent and treat it.
This trial tests whether giving a blood thinner before placing a central line (a special IV) helps prevent clots in critically ill children. It could lower the risk of problems from the line.
