Gene hunt: could your DNA predict clot danger after hip or knee surgery?
NCT ID NCT03275610
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find genetic markers that may increase the risk of a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lung) after hip or knee replacement surgery. Researchers will collect blood samples from 100 adults who have had a clot after such surgery and analyze their DNA. The goal is to use this information in the future to better identify patients at risk, potentially reducing bleeding complications while preventing clots.
