Clearing deep thigh vein clots to improve leg vein treatment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment approach for acute blood clots in the deep veins of the upper leg and groin. It aims to see if using a device to clear the clot after standard treatment improves recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have had a new blood clot in the main veins of your groin or upper leg (iliac, common femoral, or deep femoral vein), confirmed by imaging.
- Your symptoms (like leg swelling or pain) started within the last 14 days.
- You are scheduled to have a procedure to remove the clot using a catheter and a special device (PMT).
- You are willing to sign a consent form and follow the study rules.

This trial compares different mechanical devices used to remove recent blood clots from the deep veins in your leg (iliac and femoral veins). The goal is to restore blood flow and prevent long-term complications like chronic pain and swelling.
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.
This trial compares two ways of doing a mechanical blood clot removal procedure for people with a new deep vein thrombosis (a blood clot in a deep vein, often in the leg). The goal is to see which method works better.
This trial looks at whether taking a blood thinner and an additional clot-prevention medicine (antiplatelet) after iliac vein stenting can improve treatment of certain deep vein clots. It may help prevent the clot from coming back or spreading, but it also increases bleeding risk, so careful eligibility screening is important.
This study focuses on diagnosing deep-vein thrombosis (DVT, blood clots in the leg) early in people who are very ill in the ICU. It aims to test an approach to better detect clots sooner, which could help prevent complications.
This study tests a device that removes blood clots from the deep veins of your leg. It's designed to help people with recent or slightly older clots in the thigh or pelvic area, aiming to reduce symptoms and prevent complications.
