NCT ID NCT06417541

First seen Apr 28, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study looks for blood clots that form inside veins due to central venous catheters (thin tubes placed in large veins). Researchers will examine 75 people—some who have passed away and some living—using a special CT scan and compare results with autopsies or ultrasound. The goal is to learn how often these hidden clots occur and how well the new CT scan detects them.
