NCT ID NCT07014722
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how four types of central venous catheters (thin tubes placed in large veins) affect the body's clotting system. Researchers will take blood samples from 88 adults right after catheter insertion and again after flushing, to measure clotting changes. The goal is to understand why clots form and help make catheters safer.
