Catheter therapy study for acute pulmonary embolism patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study follows patients in Hong Kong who are treated with catheter-based therapy for acute pulmonary embolism. It aims to understand how well this treatment works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This study tests whether using a catheter (a thin tube) to remove blood clots from the lungs early can help people with a severe, life-threatening pulmonary embolism. It is for patients who are in shock or have had a cardiac arrest due to a large clot.
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 new device that removes blood clots from the lungs through a small tube. It is for people with a recent pulmonary embolism who have slightly strained hearts but stable blood pressure.
This trial tests a new system to remove blood clots from the lungs in people with acute pulmonary embolism (a sudden blockage in a lung artery). It may help those who are stable enough for a catheter-based procedure but still have significant strain on the heart.
This trial looks at when it's best to give treatment to restore blood flow in people with a serious type of pulmonary embolism. It aims to find the optimal time for this procedure to improve outcomes.
