Summary

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

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

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.
