New registry aims to clarify best use of Clot-Sucking catheter for lung blood clots

NCT ID NCT07650435

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is tracking 2000 patients with moderate to severe pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs) who undergo a procedure called computer-aided vacuum thrombectomy, where a special tube sucks out the clot. Researchers want to see how well the procedure works and what complications occur, especially in patients who are sick but not at immediate risk of death. The goal is to provide better data for doctors and guideline groups like NICE.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

computer-aided vacuum thrombectomy catheter

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide stronger evidence to support using this clot-removal procedure for patients with moderate to severe pulmonary embolism.

What could go wrong

This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so results may not prove cause and effect. The procedure carries risks like bleeding or vessel damage, and benefits may not apply to all patients.
