Remote monitoring with a lung artery sensor after surgery for chronic blood clot lung disease
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if a small sensor placed in your lung artery during surgery can safely help doctors watch for remaining high blood pressure after the operation. It may help catch problems earlier, but it is a small exploratory study for people at higher risk of having this issue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), which is high blood pressure in the lungs caused by old blood clots.
- Your care team has decided that you need surgery called pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) to remove those clots.
- You are healthy enough to have a small monitoring device implanted in your lung artery during the surgery.
- You can regularly send readings from the device to your care team and attend follow-up visits.
- You are willing to sign a consent form to participate.

This trial tests whether a procedure called balloon pulmonary angioplasty is safe and effective for people with chronic thromboembolic disease in the lungs, especially when surgery isn’t an option. If you have CTEPH, it may help improve lung blood flow and symptoms.
This study looks at patterns from specialized lung scan tests to help diagnose chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (a long-term problem with blood flow in the lungs after blood clots). If your results suggest this condition and you need a procedure to check heart pressure, you may be asked to join so the researchers can improve diagnosis.
This study looks at how confident patients feel about managing their heart health after surgery for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. It may help doctors understand how to better support recovery.
This study compares balloon pulmonary angioplasty versus pulmonary endarterectomy for people with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs due to long-lasting blood clots). It may help find which procedure works better for improving symptoms and lung circulation after treatment.
This study builds a registry to learn about people with chronic blood-clot lung disease (CTEPD/CTEPH) and what symptoms and test results look like over time. It may help clinicians better understand the condition and improve future care, since your participation supports data collection rather than a new drug.
This trial is for people with a type of long-term blood clot in the lungs (CTEPH) who have been taking riociguat for at least 12 weeks. It will see what happens when the medication is stopped, focusing on how the right side of the heart is doing.
