Clot removal for sudden lung blockage
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a procedure to remove blood clots from the lungs in people with a serious pulmonary embolism. It may help improve blood flow and reduce strain on the heart.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 study tests a new device (AlphaVac) that removes blood clots from the lungs using a thin tube inserted through a vein. It may be an option for people with acute pulmonary embolism who have signs of heart strain or low blood pressure.
This trial tests a new device (the Akura Thrombectomy System) that removes blood clots from the lungs in people with a sudden, severe pulmonary embolism. It aims to see if the device is safe and effective at improving blood flow and heart function.
This study compares two ways to treat a large blood clot in the lungs that is causing life-threatening symptoms. One method uses a device to remove the clot, the other uses medicine to dissolve it.
