Suction clot removal plus blood thinners for recent leg blood clots
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to treat a recent blood clot in the large veins of the leg. One approach uses standard blood thinners, and the other uses a procedure to suction the clot out plus blood thinners. The goal is to see which method better restores blood flow and reduces long-term leg damage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a blood clot in the large veins of your upper leg (involving the iliac or femoral veins), and it started recently (within weeks).
- The clot is only on one side, not both legs.

- You have not had a stent placed in the veins of the affected leg before.
- You are not at high risk for bleeding, have no active cancer, and are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study looks at how the size and location of a first-time leg blood clot affects the risk of long-term problems like chronic pain or swelling. You may join if you have a new, symptomatic clot in one leg and haven't had one before.
This trial tests whether combining a clot-busting procedure (pharmaco-mechanical thrombolysis) with standard blood thinners works better than blood thinners alone for people with severe, recently formed deep vein clots in the upper leg.
This study tests a new way to treat long-standing blood clots in the leg using ultrasound waves and a balloon procedure. It aims to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like swelling and pain for people who haven't gotten better with standard treatments.
This study compares a clot-removal device (ClotTriever) plus standard care versus standard blood thinners alone for a deep vein clot in the leg. It aims to see which approach better improves leg symptoms and outcomes.
This study tests a second, catheter-based treatment to break up or remove a blood clot in the leg (deep vein thrombosis) in people who have already had their clot treated. It aims to improve blood flow and reduce long-term leg problems.
This trial studies a procedure to remove an acute deep vein blood clot in the leg. It may help restore blood flow faster than standard treatment for certain clot locations.
