New study observes best way to treat leg clots without major surgery
NCT ID NCT04861506
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study is tracking 400 people with acute or subacute blood clots in their legs to see how well endovascular treatments (minimally invasive procedures using catheters, balloons, stents, or clot-removal devices) work. The main goal is to see how many patients avoid amputation and serious complications like re-clotting or kidney failure within one month. The results will help doctors understand which techniques are safest and most effective for these patients.
