Summary

This study is testing a new device called the Recana Thrombectomy Catheter System to treat chronic blockages in veins. It will include 30 adults with symptoms like leg swelling or pain due to venous obstruction. The device is inserted into the vein to remove the blockage and restore blood flow. Researchers will check safety and how well it opens the vein during and up to a year after the procedure.
