New device aims to suck out dangerous blood clots, sparing patients from Long-Term leg damage

NCT ID NCT05701917

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study compares a device that physically removes blood clots from leg veins (ClotTriever) to standard blood-thinning medication alone for people with deep vein thrombosis (DVT). About 300 participants with recent, severe DVT in one leg will be randomly assigned to either treatment. The goal is to see if the device better prevents long-term complications like chronic leg pain and swelling.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
ClotTriever System (a device that mechanically removes blood clots)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a more effective way to treat deep vein thrombosis and reduce the risk of long-term leg pain and swelling (post-thrombotic syndrome).
What could go wrong
This is a relatively early study with 300 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device procedure carries risks like bleeding or vessel damage, and it may not prove better than standard blood thinners.
