Comparison of Two Pulmonary Embolism Treatments

We're comparing two treatments for blood clots in the lungs.

Recruiting
18-80 years
All
Phase N/A

This study compares two treatments for pulmonary embolism (PE), a condition where a blood clot blocks blood flow in the lungs. The study checks the safety and effectiveness of two treatments: using anticoagulation (medicines to prevent blood clots) alone versus using anticoagulation with a procedure called mechanical aspiration thrombectomy. This procedure uses a device to remove the clot. To participate, you must be 18-80 years old and have a recent PE diagnosis confirmed by a CTPA scan, which is a special imaging test for the lungs.

Key Points:

  • The study is for people with a specific type of PE and requires consent from you or a representative.
  • Certain medical conditions, recent surgeries, or treatments may prevent participation.
  • No payment is mentioned, and participation involves medical evaluations and treatments as part of the study.

Talk to your doctor if you are interested in joining this study and meet the eligibility requirements. They can help you understand the risks and benefits of participating.
