New device aims to improve survival and reduce hospital stays for lung clot patients
NCT ID NCT06055920
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study compares a device called FlowTriever (used with blood thinners) to blood thinners alone for people with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs). About 1,200 adults with clots in major lung arteries and signs of heart strain will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The goal is to see if the device reduces death, worsening symptoms, hospital readmission, and shortness of breath within 30 days.
