Treating blocked leg veins with the ReCana catheter
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial is testing a device called ReCana that removes blood clots from veins in the leg or pelvis. It aims to help people whose veins are blocked or narrowed, either for the first time or because a previous stent has become blocked again.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
