Summary
This study tested the INDIGO Aspiration System, a device that uses a vacuum to remove blood clots from arteries and veins.

- Active substance
- INDIGO Aspiration System (a device that uses vacuum to remove blood clots from blood vessels)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that the INDIGO system is a safe and effective tool for quickly removing dangerous blood clots, potentially reducing the need for more invasive surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a post-market study, meaning the device is already approved. However, results may not apply to all patients, and risks like bleeding or clot re-formation remain.
