Catheter device for blood clots in the lungs
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a new catheter-based device to break up blood clots in the lungs for people with a moderate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE). The goal is to see if it can improve blood flow and reduce strain on the heart.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with a blood clot in your lungs (pulmonary embolism) within the last 14 days.
- Your heart is under strain from the clot (shown on a CT scan).
- You are healthy enough to receive standard blood thinners and the catheter procedure.
- You do not have other serious medical conditions like uncontrolled bleeding, recent stroke, severe high blood pressure, or kidney problems.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a procedure that uses ultrasound to guide a catheter that delivers clot-dissolving medicine directly to a blood clot in the lungs. It is for people who have a pulmonary embolism that causes some heart strain but who are not in shock.
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 trial tests whether a standard procedure using a catheter to deliver clot-dissolving medicine directly into the lung artery works well for people with a serious but not immediately life-threatening blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). It aims to improve heart function and reduce long-term complications.
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.
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 looks at how well a catheter (a thin tube) works to treat a serious type of blood clot in the lungs. It is for people who have a large clot that is causing problems like fast heart rate or low blood pressure.
