NCT ID NCT04113421
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This small study tested whether a 3D CT scan technique could measure changes in lung blood vessels after standard blood thinner treatment for pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs). Ten adults with acute clots had a CT scan before and 48 hours after starting blood thinners. The goal was to see if the technique could track vessel recovery, not to test a new treatment.
