Clot removal in pulmonary embolism trial
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a procedure to remove blood clots from the lungs in people with moderate or severe pulmonary embolism. It may help reduce strain on the heart and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had symptoms of a blood clot in your lungs for 14 days or less.

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 study looks at patients having a procedure to remove blood clots from the lungs. It checks how stable their heart and breathing are during the procedure to help doctors know what to expect.
This trial studies a clot-removal device used through a catheter to treat acute pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs). It aims to see if the device can safely remove clots and improve outcomes compared with standard care planning.
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 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.
