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.
What this could mean
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.
