Repeated exams for pulmonary embolism follow-up
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at repeated scans and tests for people who have had a pulmonary embolism (PE) — a blood clot in the lungs. It aims to improve how doctors monitor recovery and decide on treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism (PE) — a blood clot in the lungs — or are being followed for it at Sahlgrenska University Hospital.
- You must be able to give written consent to join the study.
- For one part of the study, your PE must be low or intermediate-low risk (meaning less severe), and the diagnosis must be within the last 48 hours.
- If you have memory problems or other issues that would make it hard to follow the study plan, you may not be able to join.
- For the second part of the study, you must live in the Sahlgrenska hospital's region (catchment area).

This study follows people who have had a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs) to understand their health over time and improve future care. It does not test a new treatment but collects information to learn more about recovery.
This study looks at how certain blood test results and heart ultrasound measurements relate to the severity of a blood clot in the lungs. It may help doctors better understand how to treat people with this condition.
This trial is a registry that collects information about people with a recent lung blood clot diagnosed by CT scan. It particularly focuses on higher-risk cases to better understand outcomes and care in the first 2 weeks after symptoms start.
This study tests a new, non-invasive imaging method called pulsatile electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to help diagnose and monitor acute pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs). It may provide a faster or safer way to detect clots compared to standard CT scans, especially for patients who cannot have contrast dye.
This study tests a structured follow-up program for people who have had a pulmonary embolism. The program aims to help you recover better after your clot and lower the chance of future problems.
This study compares two ultrasound methods for checking the right side of the heart after a sudden blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). It aims to see if the newer method (strain imaging) is better at finding heart problems than the standard test.
