Can a new device suck out deadly lung clots?
NCT ID NCT06062329
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a device called the Symphony Thrombectomy System in people with acute pulmonary embolism, a condition where blood clots block arteries in the lungs. The device is designed to restore blood flow by suctioning out or breaking up the clots. The study will check how safe the device is and whether it reduces strain on the heart, as seen on CT scans, within 48 hours of the procedure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Symphony Thrombectomy System, a device that removes blood clots from the lungs using aspiration and mechanical clot engagement
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could offer a new way to quickly clear life-threatening blood clots in the lungs, potentially reducing complications and improving recovery for people with acute pulmonary embolism.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with a moderate number of participants, so the device may not prove safer or more effective than existing treatments. There are risks of bleeding, device-related injury, or other serious adverse events.
