New device tested as safer, faster alternative to Clot-Busting drugs for lung clots
NCT ID NCT05111613
Summary
This study compared two methods for treating serious blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). Researchers tested a mechanical device called FlowTriever, which physically removes clots, against a standard drug-based therapy (Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis or CDT) that slowly dissolves them. The trial involved 692 patients who were stable but had signs of strain on their heart from the clot. The main goal was to see which treatment led to better overall outcomes, with a focus on preventing death, major bleeding, and other serious complications.
